I read it somewhere “we romanticised the wrong organ, the stomach is more emotional than the heart” and it feels so true. we feel butterflies in our stomach and when we’re sad we lose our appetite. our stomach gets affected by emotions way more than we realise.
Don’t ever be embarrassed about your life. We all go through things that shake us, humble us, or force us to start over. Moving back home, losing your job, getting your heart broken, going through a divorce, hitting a low mentally… it’s all a part of being human.
it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.
Girl to Girl:
Get that facial, get those eyelash extensions, get your hair and nails done, buy those shoes, bag and all Invest in yourself. When you look better, you feel better, and you do better.💞
Getting yo shit together requires a deep level of honesty with yourself, you gotta be able to look at yourself in the mirror & be willing to accept flaws & behavior that's not allowing you to grow , self evaluation is difficult but it's extremely necessary.
I genuinely ADORE people that are well mannered. People that choose their words with consideration for the feelings of others. People that carry themselves with humility. People that talk with so much gentleness. It's like elegance spills from their mouth when they speak.
Being a girl is wanting to save money but also wanting your hair done, nails done, gym membership, skincare, cute outfits, and a little treat every day 😭
unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
Apply for as many jobs as you can. Target roles that are above your qualification. Go to the interviews that scare you. You will gain so much confidence from that experiece that you'll naturally become a better candidate. This is one of the things that job hunting taught me.
Girl to girl
When it gets overwhelming, take a walk, go eat, get yourself gifts and go back home.
There's no crying or losing spark this year,
we have a lot to achieve.💞
you should have things you don't do, places you don't go to, substances you don't take, words you don't say..
by all means, have principles & standards.
I’ve tasted going back to an ex, and I’ve tasted trying to fix a relationship before it breaks off. I HIGHLY recommend focusing on your career, praying to God every day, and going to sleep before 9 PM.
Slowly realizing the secret to hacking adulthood is always having something planned that you can look forward to. That solo date, trip out of town, spa day or pottery class will help keep your head above water
