You should never tell a pregnant woman to toughen up or not be so sensitive. her sensitivity is the child listening through her. any woman carrying a life should be surrounded by beautiful things. she is not only living for herself, she is stocking the shelves of a new human soul with whatever is within reach

The most romantic thing a man can do is nurture your nervous system

[The Refined Populist @RefinedPopulist]

Divorce is a form of child abuse, but there’s something especially insidious about the cruelty of “there were no fights, just two adults who realized they’d drifted apart.”

How will his daughters ever feel secure in a relationship again? They’ll spend their lives haunted by the knowledge that even when everything seems perfect, even when there are no fights, no betrayals, no warning signs, the person they love most will simply wake up bored one morning and abandon them.

Imagine the psychological damage of teaching a little girl that love offers no security. That devotion means nothing. That even if she does everything right, she can be discarded for no reason beyond someone else’s changing feelings.

This is how you raise women willing to degrade themselves in every conceivable way to keep a man. This is how you create abuse victims who rationalize every cruelty, terrified that upsetting their abuser will mean abandonment. This is how you create pathological people-pleasers who spend their lives groveling for affection, accepting humiliation and mistreatment because the alternative is being alone.

And the most heartbreaking part is that these girls may never even understand why they’re like this. They’ll just carry that terrible, gnawing fear of abandonment into every relationship, every friendship, and every job, desperately trying to earn the security their own parents taught them doesn’t exist.

This man is a monster and it breaks your heart to think about.

Consistency isn't sexy, but it's what works. We're primed to seek novelty, intensity, and immediate rewards, but the best things in life are a result of prolonged discipline, sacrifice, and hard work. It's in the showing up every day to the gym knowing you'll only hit one PR throughout the course of the year. It's working eight years for the position you desire. It's spending a decacde on a business that you're not sure will ever succeed. It's giving love a go and choosing to renew your vows each morning for forty plus years. It's committing yourself to God, and living a life of faith til your very last day.

Consistency is sexy in the long run because all else fails. Reliability sustains the future you seek, and think: can God trust you? Strive for that answer to be a yes

Aura matters more than matter
Instinct beats analysis
Intuition trumps speculation
Prayer before action
Thanks before receiving
Eternal over ephemeral
Trust over everything

[Cleopatra 🪷 ✞ @amandaperera]

You need to place your love story in God’s hands. You risk closing the door to the person God intended for you and sabotaging or delaying that process when you try to be the one in control. Trust God’s timing, become the best version of yourself for you and for them, and let God surprise you

Actually no, God consistently takes masculine verb forms in Hebrew (‘Elohim’) and the pronoun ‘hu’ (he). Same for the Greek New Testament, ‘theos’ is masculine and Jesus’ language for God is ‘Pater’

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

[Augustus @AugustusDelano]

What i've learned over the past few months is that life changes faster than you can ever imagine

We think we know what we want when in fact, we haven't the slightest clue. By the time we get what we thought we once wanted, we have changed and the goal posts've moved

The desires to maintain are gratitude for every situation God has placed you in and helped you through and those which are eternal in nature

You cannot fret over preconceived timelines and schedules, for it is nothing for God to compress years into an instant and expand a moment into eternity

I think women should be paid to have children.
If a nanny costs $45,000 a cleaner $30,000, $50,000 for a cook, why are women not getting a significant rise in child care funding for their own families?

Atheists be like “oh it’s just a random mating process of natural selection” and completely deny that God is an artist.

[jo johnson @josbjohnson]

you must believe you are special and then go so hard, for so long, with such violent refusal to accept any other ending, that reality itself starts running out of ways to tell you no. you must wage a war daily against the ordinary outcome, until the belief you invented out of nothing in a room by yourself has been hammered into the world so many times that it stops being a claim and becomes reality.

life is romantic for those with eyes to see

[Cleopatra 🪷 ✞ @amandaperera]

A relationship can only work if you have fun together and pray together. Love & attraction are never enough. You need to be each other’s favorite person, you need to be a team, you need to have fun, you need to protect each other & your union in every realm. That creates devotion

[Augustus @AugustusDelano]

I propose walking outdoors as the primary method to soothe most human woes

Philosophers, saints, and artists alike would concur. The mere act of walking creates space for your interior life to surface and grow

Your soul needs movement.
Ditch the screens & inhabit the world

[🕊️ @lichthauch]

If you are lost and cannot hear yourself anymore, stop asking for signs. signs are for people who still believe God owes them an explanation. go eat a meal alone, in total silence. no screen, no book, no music, just you and the food. chew slowly. say out loud before you start, thank you for what is dying on this plate so i can live another day. most men have not said those words once in their whole lives, and they wonder why the world tastes flat. the meat died for you. the plant died for you. the ground gave up something it was growing so you could open your eyes tomorrow, and you shovel it down watching videos of strangers yelling. no wonder you feel haunted. you are eating death every day without greeting it. do this for thirty days, one meal a day, silent with gratitude aloud, and you will hear something you have not heard since you were a child

The amount of men I see sitting in the sauna in polyester pants drinking water out of plastic bottles really freaks me out
