Your SPOUSE is the one who'll sit beside you when your PARENTS DIE. who'll hold your hand through CHILDBIRTH. who might have to BATHE YOU if you're ever too sick to stand. this isn't just about BUTTERFLIES or DATE NIGHTS. it's about choosing someone who SHOWS UP... in GRIEF, in MESS, in UNCERTAINTY. so no, LOVE ALONE isn't enough. COMMITMENT, MATURITY, and the ability to ENDURE life's ugly parts... that's what sustains a MARRIAGE. because when life gets PAINFULLY REAL, ROMANCE won't carry you... CHARACTER will. and the truth is, FOREVER is only possible with someone who knows how to STAY when it's HARD TO LOVE.

A woman's brain can't relax until she feels physically and emotionally safe. Most men don't understand how much energy women use checking whether they're safe. She’s reading the room. Watching your tone. Noticing the small shifts in behavior. Calculating risks you don’t even realize exist. It’s constant, quiet work that drains her long before she ever says she’s tired. That’s why safety isn’t just about protection, it’s about consistency, reassurance, and emotional stability.

That time in 2001, when Jack Buck honored Harry Caray AND trolled the Cubs fans at Wrigley Field all within 1 minute and 21 seconds.

Chip Caray, who was the Cubs TV broadcaster at the time, sure seemed to enjoy it!

we have explained this to y'all before, but lettuce touch on it once more... the female sex drive from 35+ is like ovulating for roughly 75% of your existence. tbh, the only time we do not want sex is when we're heartbroken, hyperfocused on a project, or in deep grief. even anger won't stop it. we pretend to be okay, but we cope. even women with partners are hurting them with consent. wearing them out. it takes balance and pacing oneself. and it's either activated or inactive entirely. there is no in-between.

do you understand what I'm saying? we're cool about it, but there's nothing chill about it. 😭

by far the most devastating in memoriam.

[Kia 🧸ྀི @xevekiah]

i had this person who talked to me every single day. good morning texts. random updates. “did you eat?” “i saw this and thought of you.” they made me feel chosen without ever actually saying it. so i believed it. i relaxed. i let my guard down.
then one week, the replies got slower. the energy shifted. suddenly i was “overthinking.” suddenly i was “too much.” and the same person who used to reassure me started acting like i imagined the whole connection.
the part that messed me up wasn’t them leaving. it was how easily they switched up. like everything we built meant nothing. like i was the only one who thought it was real.
ever since then, when someone is too consistent, too sweet, too available… a small voice in my head goes, “okay but when is the plot twist?”
that’s my origin story. not heartbreak. just the moment i realized words are easy, patterns are temporary, and people can make you feel safe right before they don’t.

STAY SINGLE IF YOU LOVE HARD, BECAUSE PEOPLE DONT VALUE THAT KIND OF LOVE ANYMORE.

There's a new outfielder in Cooperstown!

Congratulations, Carlos Beltrán!

[St. Louis Cardinals @Cardinals]

Thank you, Nolan, for countless unbelievable plays and your leadership on and off the field. Best of luck in Arizona! ❤️

[𝒶rα˚˖𓍢ִ໋ @yslmammi]

you deserve someone who can’t wait to talk to you, spend time with you, get to know you and fall in love with you. please stop settling for halfhearted, lukewarm, hesitant and indecisive. it’s so much better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you feel alone.

In an era of 'i like u' texts..i want confessions like these.

[Yves ౨ৎ @yvessirae]

Don’t invite someone into your life if you’re not ready to COMMIT, HEAL, AND BE HONEST.
Don’t create FEELINGS you won’t HONOR or waste a GOOD PERSON’S TIME.
If you’re not ready to STEP UP, then STEP ASIDE.

dating someone who naturally brings out your childlike playfulness, makes you laugh, never stops flirting with you, and loves you a little extra on your bad days >>>

[ඞ @lifeinchaos_]

Hardest pill to swallow is realizing people do not care. They’ll hurt you & really go on about their lives. Not even slightly affected about what they did to you & how you feel. Regardless if it’s friendships, relationships, or family.

[‏ً @omgsidewalks]

Don't date me to see where it goes. Date me because you know where you're going, and you see me going there with you.

[COCO @TWOTIMESABITCH]

your partner actually LIKING you as a friend is important. romantic love is not enough.

[ً @prinkasusa]

dating someone who’s never been loved properly takes so much patience, understanding, and emotional strength. you’re often teaching them how to receive care while learning not to lose yourself in the process
