Healing makes you selective. You stop chasing attention, stop explaining yourself and stop tolerating anything that messes with your head. Okay, it might feel lonely at first, but it's cleaner, quieter and safer. You begin choosing consistency over sparks, honesty over charm and effort over empty words. And yes, some connections won't survive that shift. That's fine. Healing isn't about keeping everyone, it's about having peace and refusing to unlearn what self respect finally taught you.
If you were born in 1997, you’re 28 or 29, just trying to get your life together before 30. Building credit, stacking your first 10k, investing, and questioning if you’re behind. You don’t need to be rich before 30, you need direction and consistency. You’re not late. You’re early if you lock in now. I hope this account finds you.
When I was at my lowest it taught me a lot. It showed me the same people I was always there for wasn’t really there for me when it was my turn. Nobody checked on me, no real help, nobody I could talk to fr, just me figuring stuff out by myself. That changed me. It ain’t no beef with anybody, but I don’t expect too much from nobody now. Once life show you what it’s like to have nobody but yourself, you stop looking at people the same.
It does not feel like a chore to do things for someone you love. Lots of women and men choose people they don’t even like because that person fills a void and wonder why it feels so hard to love them.
It seems to me that a great deal of this comes down to not being raised by loving, regulated parents.
Loving parents will praise you not only for your accomplishments but also for politely disagreeing with them. They will ask for your opinion and engage you in disagreement as though you are worthy of respect. This then allows you to comfortably stand up for yourself in the real world, which is full of people who want to exploit you.
Without this condition, you will go through the world failing to express your own needs, while seeing other people’s needs as an attack and will be terrified of rejection.
People be knowing they wrong. But instead of being grown about it, apologizing, or taking accountability... they'll flip the whole situation & act like you did something to them. I done seen people try to make me feel like I was the problem in situations they started. I done watched folks blame me just to avoid admitting they moved foul. & that's why I can't respect certain people... not even a little bit. If you can't own what you did, if you gotta lie just to feel right, we not the same. I stand on what I do. I fix what I mess up. & that's the difference between us.
At the end of the day, being a stoner is more than rolling up and lighting up. It's about embracing the moment, appreciating the little things, sharing good energy, and understanding that sometimes the best way to move forward is to slow down for a while.
I'm pretty sure the antidote to stress and overwhelm isn't more rest.
I'm pretty sure it's fun.
We never talk about having fun. We view it as a bigger luxury than rest.
But frankly, rest is maddening, mind-numbing.
Fun is restorative.
So if your rest isn't working, maybe try doing something that sounds fun.
We have adults who never learned to play a musical instrument, swim, ride a bike, skate, hike, take a gap year, or go on vacation, or even learn to drive, or just take time off. Just a lifetime spent hustling and trying to escape survival mode.
I like women who like me, want to be with me, call me, text me, and take me out. All that nonchalant, broke, wicked, and ‘main character’ aesthetic doesn’t move me.
