I’d rather help young women recognise when someone is manipulating or taking advantage of them, and teach them to set boundaries and walk away from unhealthy situations. Teaching them to play mind games themselves isn’t the answer, it’s harmful to our own mental health.

No one enjoys being rejected, but you can learn to handle rejection and get on with your life if you remember that Jesus was also rejected and despised. If you feel rejected, give your hurt to God:
Lord, I can't please everyone all of the time. I will concentrate on being a God pleaser and not a man pleaser. The rest I leave in Your hands, Lord. Grant me favor with You and with men, and continue transforming me into the image of Your Son. Thank You, Lord. #JoyceQuote

Been together for 8 years, married for almost 4 and somehow, marriage feels easier than our long-distance days.
We share a love for reading, taking trips to the bookstore, spending time indoors (introvert heaven), binge watching our favorite shows together and taking interest in each other’s hobbies/goals.
Over the years, we have built a routine where being together feels effortless, yet there’s still space to enjoy our own things.

lately i’ve noticed everybody looks OKAY until you have a deep conversation with them. and then, you’ll realize that this is a sad generation of people struggling to survive through smiling faces and pretty pictures
Men really do prefer evil women that treat them badly. As a kindhearted woman, I can tell you that’s a fact and idc what anybody says. Being very nice gets you played with, every time. Unfortunately, I’m still trying to find the balance 😭
