I listed my late mother's old sewing machine online because I needed money to pay an urgent bill.
It was an old machine that had been sitting in the storeroom for years.
A woman contacted me and offered to pay double the asking price.
I was surprised.
Me: "Are you sure you want this particular machine?"
Woman: "Yes. Please don't sell it to anyone else."
She arrived the following afternoon.
The moment she saw the machine, she started crying.
Me: "Madam, are you alright?"
Woman: "Your mother's name was Margaret, wasn't it?"
I nodded.
Woman: "Did she ever tell you about a girl named Helen?"
I shook my head.
She introduced herself as Helen.
Then she told me something I had never heard.
When she was seventeen, she had left home after becoming pregnant. Her family rejected her, and she spent months struggling to survive.
My mother had met her at a market where Helen was trying to sell handmade clothes.
Instead of buying just one, my mother bought several and encouraged her to start a small tailoring business...
Damn, I need this kind of discipline. To me, he’s a real one. Money is not an issue but spending outside the budget is, if many of us actually followed what he said, we would be far by now
You as a woman need to stop giving men the benefit of the doubt so damn much, because every single thing that a man does is 100% intentional. Men are very intentional. Everything they do is with intention.
You need to be a little more ruthless when it comes to men, because if not, you're going to get played and you're going to get eaten alive out here in these streets, because you're continuing to give men the benefit of the doubt and hope for something that isn't even there:1/6
My husband's fingerprint failed on our new smart lock last night. Seven years of marriage and I had never once seen him fail at anything. He laughed and called it a glitch. Then I held his hand under the porch light. His fingertips were completely smooth. No lines at all. "Please," he said quietly. "Don't do this tonight." My name is Nell. My husband Daniel and I live in a small town where people still wave from their trucks. 🧵
ADHD often gets misdiagnosed/overlooked in females, because the hyperactivity may present differently. For many females, it is internal: mind racing, excessive worry, rumination, difficulty relaxing, etc. Society tends to only recognize hyperactivity when it disrupts the environment, which is how you get so many late-diagnosed adults who just fell in the cracks.
