If your game plan for a healthy relationship is ‘I don’t know,’ you’re not busy—you’re just not ready. If making a plan feels like too much pressure, maybe don’t invite someone else onto your runaway train.
Life isn’t a cashback rewards program—giving doesn’t guarantee getting. But stacking the deck with good intentions beats running a con and hoping no one notices. The best people spend their principles like they’re minted daily.
The more you take care of your own shit, the less you’ll hate people for not doing it for you. Clears the mind, cuts the bullshit. Stop ditching your own needs just to score brownie points. Nobody’s keeping track.
People hate unsolicited criticism, so do ‘em a favor—ask first. Hit up a friend, partner, or family member and say, “Hey, how can I suck less?” If they’re brave enough to answer, be brave enough to listen.
A casual thing is just that—casual. Beware the ones who want the VIP perks of commitment without paying the cover. Past baggage isn’t a golden ticket to entitlement.
Trashing what someone loves is just a coward’s way of saying you don’t like them. You won’t change their mind, just kill the vibe. Instead of smacking the ice cream out of their hand, let them enjoy it—and maybe keep your cynicism on a leash.
Feeling triggered? Cool, that’s on you. Expecting the world to change because you won’t self-regulate? That’s how you win a lifetime supply of disappointment.
Agreeable and honest? Pick one. Keep the peace or keep your integrity? Same deal. Sometimes, telling the truth means making enemies. But hey, at least you can sleep at night.
A good friend will listen, hype you up, and throw in some quality ball-busting for balance. A bad one just lingers like an unpaid bar tab. Set standards. Social health matters too. #socialstandards#qualityfriends
Pickup artists haven’t disappeared; they’ve just rebranded. Cold approach is referred to as socializing or networking. Comfort is building rapport. Removing the terminology doesn’t change the behavior or the outcome.
The Value of Others by Orion Taraban isn’t another self-help book telling you you’re special—it’s a wake-up call that maybe, just maybe, other people matter too. Read it. Your relationships (and ego) will thank you. #oriontaraban https://t.co/UVjK2MVEf6
Shut down when someone tries to get you? Congrats, you’ve just taught them connection’s a crime. The way you vibe or ghost shows people the rules—own it before whining about the game.
Picture this: blues and grays doing a slow dance, like your last breakup set to jazz. Then—bam—pink neon lights crash the party, like love trying to make a comeback after three tequila shots. It's moody, messy, and somehow still hopeful. A trainwreck you can’t look away from.
I know an investor who was flipping 50+ houses a year who leaned from one that was flipping 3/year.
The guy flipping only 3 was creating content about his work. The guy flipping 50+ was not.
Make art AND create content.
