When it comes to budgeting, I can cut down my spending on clothes, I can cut down my spending on trips, I can cut down my spending on most things… But what I can never seem to cut down on is spending money on food! 😅
May we remember that community love, romantic love, platonic love, familial love can also act as revolution to tackle the dehumanizing essence of this treacherous economy. It is love that will keep us alive.

Replying to messages is sooo mentally exhausting because after you find strength to reply, everyone replies again and then the whole process just repeats itself 😭
Hmmm… I think everything she described in this video is simply a consequence of being a woman in a patriarchal society. You don’t have to be viewed as ‘attractive’ to relate to most of it. On the whole, I actually think society is generally kinder to ‘attractive’ women.
So many people who don’t believe in themselves, projecting their insecurities on to people who do. A lot of ‘how dare you’ energy. I dare me. And I will always dare me. Better face your front and start daring yourself.
Never underestimate the influence you have on others. I still cook pasta the way I saw in a YouTube video. My friend still buys the brand of chocolate I once got her for Christmas. Some still listen to the music their ex once listened to. People may leave, but the memories stay.
There are people in this life who will reinforce your bad behaviours and rarely challenge you. Then there are people who will hold a mirror up to you. It may not always feel comfortable but they will encourage you to do better.
Don’t undervalue the latter.
Nggas want you to prove your worth to them in order for them to treat you right. Worst mindset to have with me cause I’m not auditioning for treatment I know I deserve. The minute you pursued me was the minute you knew my worth. Don’t play with me.
The older I get I really just want the best for me like just pure love , real happiness and overall stability in every aspect of my life .
I crave this the most rn 🫶🏽
Let me say it again for the sake of emphasis, be careful and I mean very careful of how you make others feel of themselves. Many people are contending with a lot. If you are not making life better for others don’t contribute to making it worse for them! Use your influence wisely.
‘Avoid eggshell type of relationships, where you can’t express yourself, can’t be yourself, can’t ever be straight forward, can’t be comfortable, can’t talk like adults, can’t be heard, can’t respond with love without it turning into something negative… AVOID!”
