I’ll never forget Dr. Patton,
She was the professor for the last college class I ever attended. She told me to stop kidding myself,
“…and that made all the difference.” 😂

Marriage is really deep. The older I get, the more I realize that I can’t afford to marry carelessly. The person I choose will directly impact my freedom, opportunities and expression for the rest of my life. That’s a decision to make very carefully.
realizing that you’re incompatible with someone (because they don’t meet your basic standards of courtesy, respect and reciprocation) and choosing to walk away instead of forcing it/blaming yourself/fantasizing about their potential is a superpower. look how much you’ve grown.
College+ showed me that’s a lot of mfkers weren’t parented or even raised. Just housed, fed, & tolerated until it was legal to unleash them on the rest of us
I’ll say this.. Im 27 with a salary job, yet I struggle to pay rent, car note, insurance & all my other expenses. Now imagine someone expecting me to pay theirs as well & dates, buy gifts & if I don’t then I get blasted for “not being a man.” I wouldn’t wanna date as a man either
