You should never settle in life. This applies in so many ways, including romantic relationships. Like so much good advice, however, this can be easier said than done. So many of us want to give people second chances or the benefit of the doubt even when they don’t deserve it — but not Laurel. This young woman has high standards, and she wouldn’t change that for anything. This is true even when people say that her standards are “too high.”

And she continues to be reminded with thoughtful gestures like the one in the video below…

There are all sorts of reasons why someone may have high standards. For Annah, the way Dad treats her is what makes her say, “My future husband has some serious boots to fill…” Dad has proven what it can look like to actually go above and beyond for the people you love. Plus, he’s pretty hilarious.
