Oh when it comes to school? Wake me up at 2am!!
What a babe! Skolo has opened doors that I didn’t even know existed. I am NOTHING without my education 🥺the best decision I’ve ever made! 😮💨
Apply for jobs, apply for scholarships, apply to further your studies. Go to the interviews, complete the assessments, do it for the plot. Opportunities favor those in motion.
you can physically feel the pain in your heart
you go to sleep with it, you wake up and you have like 3 seconds before your brain remembers you’re heartbroken and you carry it again. everyday for like 6 months
Slow burn… anytime. I want it built on curiosity.. intentionally getting to know the person, inside & out. Learning their smile, their language, their fears. The tension of it all. Stealing glances when they’re not looking, the unexpected eye contact, the overnight conversations that slowly build trust. Aow 🥹
this is arguably one of the most dangerous ways to live as a man even if it looks strong on the surface.
i started working in mining straight out of school, remote sites, long rotations and harsh conditions and out there, weakness gets exposed fast, you carry your own weight, you fix your own gear, you eat what you cook, no one babysits you underground... that environment trains you to rely on yourself or get crushed, literally.
after a few years, that mindset followed me home. i paid my bills early, handled repairs, made my own food, kept my emotions locked up tight and independence became identity. if something broke, i fixed it. if something hurt, i buried it. i didn’t need anyone and i wore that like armor.
but here’s the part nobody tells you: when you build a life where no one is needed, you also build one where no one fits. relationships started feeling inefficient, emotional conversations felt unnecessary, vulnerability felt like handing someone a pickaxe and hoping they wouldn’t swing.
self sufficiency and independence is powerful, yes it makes you competent, steady and hard to shake but if your not careful as a man, it turns into emotional isolation disguised as strength... and unlearning that, learning to let someone stand beside you instead of always proving you can stand alone is harder than any shift underground.
UPDATING your partner is one of the MOST IMPORTANT things in a relationship. being BUSY is NOT a reason to disappear. it’s NOT an excuse to leave someone waiting for HOURS. if your partner is taking time to wait for your RESPONSE, the least you can do is give an UPDATE. it’s not about control. it’s about RESPECT, CONSIDERATION, and CARE. if you matter, you don’t leave them guessing.
