“Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud…”
It’s good to receive this kind of love, but make sure you’re mature enough to give it first. If not, stop bothering people.
A good woman is a diamond. She understands words like we, us, and team. Her goal is a healthy relationship, not a broken one. Don’t let your pain convince you that all women are untrustworthy.
You can't manipulate someone with high pattern recognition. They see the script before you even realize you're performing it. They notice the timing, the contradictions, the selective kindness, the convenient excuses, and the subtle shifts in behavior that most people overlook.
"People think that when we talk about...being Pro Black and what not, it means...being anti white. The only reason why they think that is because being pro white has always meant being anti Black. It's not the same thing."
Please raise your daughters to have hobbies, interests, and academics...so when they become adults and middle-aged women they have something to talk about besides a man.
Your story doesn't end in isolation. Your community is finding its way to you. Love is traveling in your direction. Strangers will appear like angels at just the right time. Life is conspiring in your favor. Open your heart to it. Claim it.
Kevin James dropped a powerful reminder about prayer and God.
He said if you look back at all the things you once prayed desperately about, they all got taken care of, maybe not exactly how you wanted, but in a better way. The things that once kept you up at night aren’t even worries anymore.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds.” - Philippians 4:6-7
You know you haven’t always been the best version of yourself, and deep down, you’re aware of your flaws. Then one day, you meet someone who makes you want to do better, not because they ask you to, but because they inspire you to. For the first time, change feels less like a burden and more like a choice. Some people don’t just enter your life, they awaken the person you could become.
