High-agency is contagious. You spend time around someone who just does things and suddenly your own list of "impossible" tasks starts looking suspiciously possible.
I had a realization a few years ago that I don't need to figure out why this person is doing a certain behavior I dislike. All that matters is I know I don't like the behavior and I can leave
for me, it was a realisation.
i had already survived every man i was convinced i wouldn’t survive. every relationship that felt like my entire world, i got through it. i was fine.
then i built my world around someone new, and that ended too, and i was fine again.
and eventually something clicked like, there will always be another man willing to become my whole world if i let him. which means the scarcity i kept feeling was never real. i manufactured it every time by treating each one like he was the last.
so i realised, you don’t decenter men by deciding they’re not worth it. you decenter them the moment you realise you were always going to be okay without them. and that’s the point i reached.
This study found that mothers carrying boys showed a significantly larger increase in breast volume as early as the first trimester compared to those carrying girls. What’s wild is that the researchers found the difference was so distinct, breast volume increase was actually a more reliable predictor of the fetus's sex than many traditional physical "signs" combined. By the 32nd week, the volume difference between mothers of boys and girls in the study was a massive 141.32 ml. Since male fetuses require more energy and accumulate mass quicker, the maternal body physically scales up to keep up.
Eventually the Spiritual path will lead you back to the Material world because the ultimate meaning of being Awake is to create and play in physical reality 🪄
as mulheres poderiam aprender muito com a rapidez com que os homens se retiram de situações que não lhes beneficiam, quando algo não lhes convém, sem dar muitas explicações, sem auto sacrifício, sem se deterem p "consertar" o que as esgota. SE PRIORIZAM SEM PEDIR DESCULPAS
I’m convinced that everyone should take a big swing at some point in their life and experience what it’s like to truly go all in on a meaningful pursuit otherwise they grow bitter with age.
writing will genuinely change your life more than motivation ever will. not in some cringe “manifest your dream life” way. i mean in a very real, practical way. most people never actually stop long enough to understand what’s going on inside their own head. they just react to life all day. scroll when they feel uncomfortable. distract themselves when things get quiet. jump from one dopamine hit to the next. but writing forces you to slow down for a second and actually look at your thoughts instead of running from them. and the weird part is you usually don’t even realize what you truly think until you start writing it down.
writing doesn’t just record your thoughts it creates them. ideas start flowing that you didn’t even know were there. patterns start showing up. emotions start making sense. problems become easier to solve because they’re no longer this giant fog floating around in your head. writing organizes your mind. every high performer, every sharp thinker, every person who just gets it, they all write. It keeps showing up as the common thread. not the expensive stuff. not the complex stuff. Just pen and paper. they write because feelings are vague but words are precise. every time they sit down and search for the exact word to describe what’s inside them, they become a sharper, more powerful communicator.
“people follow the person who can say what they mean and mean what they say. writing every day is how you build that muscle until it becomes second nature.”
over time, all that accumulated writing becomes a resource you can draw from forever. the more you write, the more material you have to solve problems, connect dots and think bigger.
the better you get at putting thoughts into words, the better you get at communicating in general. and honestly, communication controls a huge part of your life. like relationships, opportunities, business, confidence, influence, all of it comes down to how clearly you can express yourself. and no, you don’t need to be some amazing writer either. your grammar doesn’t need to be perfect. nobody cares. half the benefit comes from simply getting thoughts out of your head and onto paper.
some of the best writing advice i’ve ever heard was:
“write badly. just write.”
because the moment you stop trying to sound smart or perfect, your real thoughts finally start coming out.
even 30 minutes a day changes something in you. you become calmer because your mind isn’t carrying around a thousand unprocessed thoughts anymore. you become more self aware because you start noticing your own habits and emotional patterns. you become more articulate because you’re practicing turning feelings into language every single day.
if you write every day, your future self gets to sit down and read exactly how far you’ve come. i think that’s more valuable than any photo album.
who knows maybe one day all that writing becomes a book, a course, something you give your children. at the very least, it becomes proof that you were here, that you grew, that you tried.
that’s one of the coolest parts about it. writing lets you watch yourself evolve with time.
seriously. start writing. doesn’t matter if it’s in a notebook, your notes app, twitter wherever. just sit, think about your thoughts and write.
just sit down for 30 minutes and let your mind speak for once. and watch yourself becoming unstoppable.
