Hi friends and welcome to the papaya podcast. I'm your hostess, Try and Hermostis, Sarah Nicole,

and each week I'm going to be dishing out some sweetness mixed in with some seeds of wisdom or something like that.

So get ready to get inspired, get candid, get real, because we are all in this digital

space together. Hi everyone. Welcome back to our segment that we're really, really good at

scheduling together. Ask the Neighbors. This is a segment that we started last year where you write us in

Becky and Sarah, your questions

that you want to ask us as neighbors.

We have really navigated the tough waters of people just asking us neighbor questions.

And now we're here to just answer all the questions and all the curious little things.

And frankly, we both like to have opinions about stuff, some of us more strongly than others.

And this is our

first time in your new office. So I am feeling professional. I am feeling refreshed. I am feeling

like we will remember to do this at least once a month, potentially. Potentially. I know.

That you know what, though, I love that we don't over, we don't oversubscribe ourselves to any type of commitment like this life is too difficult already that's a really kind way of saying that I'm a lazy that's not true I literally text to you an hour ago I'm like you want to come down that's true and you got yourself organized and came down to you with all the little questions into my lazy schedule that's absolutely true I think friendships do well when there's a doer and a lazy slob and And that is me and I embrace it. Yeah, I love it. All right, let's get into it. So this is how it works basically on Instagram. We let people write in their questions that they want us to give advice on or banter on as neighbors, as friends and sort of as your friend. So sometimes these are like deep and heavy and we might go on for a while.

And sometimes they're short and snappy. Like what kind of hot dog toppings do you like?

That was a really controversial one that went on for a while.

Okay. So this is from a woman and I will give a little bit more context at the end.

Her question is, do I give up on a man that I meant two months after I left my abusive ex?

The context. They had a year and a half situation ship starting in 2022 when she left her ex.

She's been dating since they parted ways, but she feels like no one has matched him and how he

was with her. They do still talk every day. Okay. And she says that she still loves him. He says he is not

ready for a relationship. For context, not that it matters, she is 45 and he is 32.
