some of the strongest people you'll ever meet are queer people. imagine having your identity debated by strangers, criticized by family, politicized by governments and still choosing to live authentically anyway.
The World Cup is proof that if it weren't for our leaders, the majority of us would get along just fine. It's the global version of "When the boss isn't here, we all just come in and get our work done.
Was feeling stagnant from usual workout program so hired a swim coach. Did my baseline test and first workout in the pool 😮💨 lungs are already feeling it
@jasononfirms Legit, US based, & hireable (at least I like it to think I am 😆), I let Oliver know I am on Friday 🤣 Love what you’re doing for the industry!
people can FEEL when you're desperate - it's an energy that pushes them away
how to date without desperation:
> stop treating every date like it could be "the one" - just have FUN meeting someone new
> have a full life outside of dating - hobbies, friends, goals - it makes you more attractive AND happier
> don't over-text or over-plan - match their energy and let things breathe
> if they're not communicating consistently (without explaining why), they're not that interested - move on! (it's all good, it happens)
> the right person won't make you feel anxious all the time. EASE is a green flag
> you're focusing all your energy on what they think of you. have you considered asking yourself what do *I* think of them?
> abundance mindset baby!!! there is infinite connection out there for you. no need to obsess. the right one is right around the corner
> stop auditioning for them. you don't need to perform. you want someone who likes you for YOU (not someone you're *trying* to be)
> when it's right, it feels EASY - not like you're constantly trying to prove yourself
desperation comes from scarcity mindset
the cure is building a life you LOVE with or without a partner
that energy will attract abundance
you got this!!!
I come back to this speech every once in a while:
“in the 1,526 singles matches I played in my career, I won almost 80% of those matches
… what percentage of points do you think I won in those matches?
only 54%.”
you’ll get rejected and dumped and fired and you’ll fail at things you were sure about, that’s just the cost of being alive. the question isn’t whether it’ll happen but how quickly you can get yourself back to swinging at the next opportunity. every day you spend hostage to what already happened is a day you’re not creating what’s next. reset fast.
People respect you more when they don't see you often. Even parents. Trust me. It's strange how distance rearranges love, how absence restores what closeness erodes. When people are deprived of your presence, they start seeing you clearly again, not through habit but through awareness. Proximity dulls perception. Space sharpens it. That's just how the human mind works.
We survived whatever that clay court season was. And even though Carlos isn’t playing on grass, an unnamed listener updated his VF shoot to keep us fed with Alcaraz content.
Bring on the grass!!
The best relationships are built between two people who love their solitude. Because they come together by choice, not need. Their connection is complement, not completion.
They share peace instead of chasing it. That's why it feels light, not because it's easy, but because it's aligned.
That's divine partnership.
