If there’s one thing I’ve learnt from women before me,it is not to make life altering sacrifices for men. They do not deserve such loyalty and commitment
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Get disciplined again. Take care of yourself again. Eat better & move your body again. Oil your edges & drink your water again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Find your spark and put yourself first.
nothing humbles you more than realizing how many things you once prayed for are now a part of your normal life, and you barely even notice them anymore.
I want the kind of money that lets me show up for my people. Even if I can't fix everything, i want to at least soften the moment. To send food. To send transport fare. To send ice-cream money on a hard day.
I'm tired of only saying "sorry."
All roads lead you back to yourself;
the standards you ignored.
the boundaries you softened.
the intuition you doubted.
Life will keep repeating lessons until you listen.
