No chasing. No forcing. No begging.
When it’s yours, it moves mountains, parts seas & travels galaxies to get to you.

[The Rev. Dr. Auntie Michelle She/Her @iamn0tthe1]

STAY MAD.

[Oluwabukola🌸 @Bukolababii]

Dating someone who believes in God and actually prays is extremely important.

[Resko★ @Bloke_Baz]

I was born for romantic love, Sunday family barbecues, quality time, lying on the chest of the person I love, spending time with my love ones,little gestures, feeling deeply, all of it.

In this life, choose a CALM man. A man who will also be calm & generous with your heart, mood swings & insecurities. It's never just about the money >>

[miia @miiagarro]

just act like they died, it helps

It’s easy for people to love you when life is good. But having people who stay when you’re struggling, difficult, hurting, or wrong… those are your actual people. Being truly loved means being loved even when it’s inconvenient.

[Urenna @BridgetUrenna]

Girl to girl:

You’re going to cry the day you realize you cannot love someone into emotional maturity. You’ll explain, beg, communicate, forgive, and try to understand them for so long… only to realize you’ve been carrying the entire relationship by yourself.

It will hit you the day you casually stop communicating and realize they never even cared enough to ask why.

[LoyalTee @imloyalteee]

Whole time God was protecting me and I was taking it personal.

[𝖑𝖔𝖔𝖙𝖊𝖉 @6looted]

Everybody wanna glorify being toxic, meanwhile I’m trying to unlearn every toxic part of myself. I don’t wanna argue, shut down, play games, or question love. I wanna be gentle, understanding, emotionally mature, and safe for the person I love. Real love should feel peaceful.

1. Never overshare or overplay your role in his life.
2. Don’t ever fall in love with a man who has wandering eyes, they would never fully stay committed to you.
3. Always choose a man who loves you over a man you love. It saves you from heartbreak.
4. Never treat a man based on how you feel about him. Always treat him based on how he treats you.
5, Never ever be too available for a man. It causes overfamiliarity.
6. Never believe a guy that says let's take things slowly and see where it goes.
7. Never let a man prove that he doesn’t love you more than twice.
8. They know exactly what they are doing. If they show you, believe it and don't make excuses for him or you will cry blood.
9. Don't carry the whole relationship alone, you will die young.
10. Never marry or date a mama’s boy.
11. Never trust a man with so many female besties, they are definitely having sex together.
12. Don't ever loan a man your money. Never tell a man the truth about your finances. Today's men are the real gold-digging barbie princesses.
13. Don't be desperate for marriage, take ur time girl.
14. Never repeat yourself. He heard you the first time.
15. If you think something ain't right, then it is definitely not. Listen to your intuitive thoughts.
16. Don’t reveal your past to a man. He does not have to know anything.
17. Never go a single mile for a guy that hasn't gone an extra mile for you.
18. Do NOT forgive a cheating partner.
19. Don't ever start a relationship with always finding ways to prove yourself and loyalty.
20. Stop listening to what they say after they hurt you, and start watching what they repeatedly do before they hurt you again.

Lastly, never ever settle for less. Love yourself so much, don't ever lower your standards for any man, have boundaries and strongly abide by them.

[Mamello🧚🏽‍♀️ @MelloFelicia1]

Nobody talks about how God’s love is not transactional. It doesn’t increase when you’re faithful and decrease when you’re not. It doesn’t reward your good seasons and withhold in your bad ones. It’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

[MONALEO 🎀 @themonaleo]

love complimenting women when they out with they man like yea dumb ass nigga u need to KNOW your girl is BEAUTIFUL never ever play with her or u gone die have a good day

[𝕄𝕒_ℤ𝕠𝕟𝕕𝕠 @Nomagugu_xo]

When I say I’m a Christian, I’m not saying I’m a “perfect church girl”.

I’m honestly just a broken mess, who had an encounter with Jesus. Anything good in me is God, and anything broken in me, He is working on 🌷

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

The person who motivates you to hit the gym, eat healthy, and improve yourself is a person you need to keep in your life.

[A 🇦🇪 @tutututuulip]

You cannot repair a relationship with someone who insists that the real problem is always your reaction and never their bad behavior.

[sine. @sneminaj]

Nothing exposes low effort men like your birthday . If he fumbled your birthday , imagine the rest of your life with him.

[yimika| @yimikaaaa]

Pretty privilege is one thing, but the favor of God is unmatched.

[✺Malachi @problemochile]

A lot of y’all be too invested in seeing black women suffer

[Lisa @lisathebeauty1]

i'm instantly turned off by a man that has very negative opinions about women even if it doesn't apply to me. something very nasty and misogynistic about that spirit that never sat well with me.
