@134340S79520: “You need to stop putting your dreams on hold for girlfriends and boyfriends. First red flag was her threatening to dump you if you went overseas. If she really loved you she would’ve been happy for you.”
@KaraboNtshweng: “How did it go?”
Putting your dreams on hold for short term relationships can have long term effects. A scholarship to study abroad especially in engineering is a rare opportunity that can change ones career.
A partner who will leave when you’re having a positive development in your life may not have your back. Healthy relationships should support your growth and ambition not hinder them.
Relationships are important but not at the cost of personal development and once in a lifetime opportunities.
Your career gives you long term stability and fulfillment. Relationships are important but a supportive partner will encourage you to chase your dreams.
This story serves as a reminder to prioritize self-growth and to seek relationships that align with your ambitions.
