Never, ever date anyone who brings you down and knocks down your passions. Do not date anyone who doesn’t understand why skiing fresh powder is relaxing, or reaching the top of a route climbing is empowering. Don’t date someone who scoffs when you take off your make up or don’t wash your hair for a few days. Don’t date someone who doesn’t allow you to have the space you need to go on a hike by yourself, or take a day by yourself on the slopes. Don’t date someone who cringes when their fingers trace the calluses on your hand or is disgusted by the blisters on your feet – you worked hard for those.
Date someone who makes you feel free and encourages you to soar. Date someone who can’t wait to hear about your trip when you get back and will welcome you with a foot rub and cuddles. Date someone who thinks you are most beautiful when you are strong.Date someone who loves what you love or at least loves that you love what you love.
