Jerica X Fit

I spent years studying relationships. But some of my earliest lessons came from watching my parents 🫶🏼

They have been married for 40+ years, and one of the things I appreciate most as I’ve gotten older is realizing that the relationship I grew up watching didn’t just happen. They built it.

Not perfectly. Not 50/50 every day. Not without hard seasons.

But with a lot of honesty, effort, humor, and the willingness to keep choosing each other.

I think we absorb so much about love before we’re ever old enough to realize we’re learning it.

So I’m curious: what’s something your parents taught you about relationships — either something you want to carry forward or something you had to unlearn? 🤍

Kinda lucky that my besties idea of a bachelorette is yoga, a boat day, a hike, and healthy food instead of a hangover 🤍🫶🏼

We did lake mornings instead of late nights. Hikes instead of hangovers. Real meals instead of bar food at 2am. And somehow it was still one of the best weekends of the year.

I used to think a good trip meant going all out. Now I think it means being around people who want the same things you do — to feel good, not just have a good time.

Surround yourself with people who support your goals and your adventures. Preferably both at once. 🏔️🥾
