my mom taught me to say “not my circus, not my monkeys” when some crazy shit someone was doing wasn’t my business. but when my friends are doing crazy shit it’s tough. bc I’m like that’s not my circus… but that’s MY monkey
dealin with a REAL MAN WILL MAKE YOU REALIZE you DONT have to ask a man that really desires you for anythin . not a date night, not money not time not affection, Im talkin about ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, when a man REALLY desires you, he moves different for you on his OWN. It’s a pleasure for him to do the most for you💯

my life is nowhere near where i want it to be but i still just feel so grateful to be here right now. to show up most days trying my best to just make it happen for myself. the rough days make me appreciate the radiant ones. i pray i can give myself the life i feel i deserve.
Living in private, dating in private, making money in private, healing in private, unlearning in private, and growing in private is top tier self-care. Normalize being private and letting them assume and be wrong about you while you work on yourself and evolve into the new you.

Growing up, I always borrowed my parents luggage for long trips and it was 10-15 years old and I didn’t understand why we didn’t just get new rolling suitcases and now I know it’s bc rolling suitcases are in that category of things I cannot believe are so expensive. Like lamps.
Being with someone with childlike playfulness who makes you laugh, brings out your inner child, and makes you forget about the exhausting adulting is a whole different kind of intimacy.
