"But then that friendship needs to be there. Because love is not a feeling, you've got to wake up every day and chose this person,"
Self awareness
Maureen values self-awareness and responsibility. She believes that acknowledging one's flaws and actively working on them is essential for personal growth and healthy relationships.
She prefers a partner who is willing to face their weaknesses and make conscious efforts to improve, rather than falling into denial and perpetuating negative cycles.
"Self-awareness coz weuh people are broken out there, broken is okay but are you self-aware, are you able to say I have this weakness and I'm working on it other than being in denial and the cycle repeats itself,"
