The fastest way to grow is to stay teachable.

I think we sometimes confuse patience with repeatedly accepting the same disrespect.

[Amek🇰🇪 @raphaelamek]

I used to think being strong meant staying through everything. Now I’m realizing strength also includes knowing when to step away.

[Grace Apondi @Graceapondi_]

@nora_mindnotes Exactly.

[Nora @nora_mindnotes]

Growing older has made me less interested in proving that I can tolerate everything. Endurance is useful, but so is knowing when something no longer deserves your energy.

[Grace Apondi @Graceapondi_]

@raphaelamek Perspective often returns when you stop forcing it.

[Amek🇰🇪 @raphaelamek]

I don't think clarity always arrives through deep thinking. Sometimes you eat, shower, walk outside and realize the problem was never as enormous as it felt indoors.

Fucked a guy that stopped mid sex to admire my thighs, I saw soo much admiration in his eyes. I found it soo hot

Nobody is more stressed than a 19-25yr old thinking they're running out of time

@nora_mindnotes Sometimes I just want life to feel manageable.

[Nora @nora_mindnotes]

I think there's a quiet kind of wealth in being able to sleep peacefully, wake up with purpose, trust the people around you, and not constantly feel like you're running from your own life.

[Grace Apondi @Graceapondi_]

@nora_mindnotes It can feel weird when someone tells a story about you and you're sitting there thinking, “I haven't been that person in years.”

[Nora @nora_mindnotes]

There are moments when you realize you are defending a version of yourself that you don't even identify with anymore. Outgrowing yourself can be uncomfortable when other people still know you by the old version.

[angel🧚‍♀️ @angellailah_yG]

no one talks about the resentment you have towards yourself after you didn’t listen to you

[Amek🇰🇪 @raphaelamek]

Funny how familiar can feel like safe, even when you already know it isn't where you belong anymore.

[Grace Apondi @Graceapondi_]

@nora_mindnotes Exactly. You can't make space while holding onto everything.

[Nora @nora_mindnotes]

Sometimes you realize you've been asking for a new chapter while still emotionally living in the old one. No wonder nothing feels clear. You can't hear the future clearly when you're constantly rereading the past.
