I may do well in the kitchen,,, but that doesn't make me belong to the kitchen... I'm free to belong anywhere... I matter in every field of life,,,, women matter.... women have proved to be the best in what they do...
I told my therapist, "I feel safest when I do everything on my own." She didn't ask why. She just said, "That's not independence... that's grief." And that hit me. Because it really is grief, isn't it? Grief for all the times you reached out and no one showed up. Grief for being the one who had to stay strong while everything around you fell apart. Grief for learning way too early that you couldn't rely on anyone to come through for you. You didn't choose to be this strong... you had to be. Because falling apart didn't feel safe. Crying didn't fix anything. And depending on people usually ended in disappointment. So you adapted. You became overly prepared. You plan ahead for everything.
You double-check everything-doors, messages, emotions.
You carry that "I'll handle it" mindset... even when you're overwhelmed inside. People call you independent. But they don't see the part of you that's tired. The part of you that just wants to let go for once... and feel safe enough to be held without worrying if you'll be dropped again.
A hard pill that I had to swallow and coming into realization is that someone wanted the benefits of having me without wanting the responsibility of fully choosing me
Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Get disciplined again. Take care of yourself again. Eat better & move your body again. Oil your edges & drink your water again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Find your spark and put yourself first.
One of the most overlooked parts of healing is the exhaustion that comes after.
When your body finally stops living in survival mode and no longer has to stay in a constant state of fight or flight, it begins to crave rest, silence, and peace.
That's not laziness—it's recovery. It's your mind and body finally feeling safe enough to slow down after years of carrying what was never meant to be carried for so long.
Give yourself grace. You deserve the rest you've spent years going without.
Una vez, mi abuela me dio un consejo: En los momentos difíciles, avanza a pasitos pequeños. Haz lo que debes hacer, pero poco a poco. No pienses en el futuro, ni siquiera en lo que podría pasar mañana. Lava los platos. Quita el polvo. Escribe una carta. Prepara una sopa. ¿Ves? Estás avanzando paso a paso. Da un paso y párate. Descansa. Halágate. Da otro paso. Luego otro. No te darás cuenta, pero tus pasos se volverán cada vez más grandes. Y llegará el tiempo en que podrás pensar en el futuro sin llorar. (Elena Mijálkova, La habitación de las llaves antiguas)
turns out, reading voraciously, moving your body, loving people without keeping score, protecting your solitude, chasing nothing but your own growth, and occasionally staying out too late with people who make you laugh until it hurts is not a bad way to build a life.
Please remember whoever abandoned you in the middle of the ocean has no right to know what the storms, those waves, and sharks did to you or how you managed to make it back to shore. proud of you for coming back on your own.
One of my biggest dreams is to build a company that creates opportunities for women who started later than expected.
Internships and graduate trainee programs for women in their late 20s and 30s. Remote jobs for women in their 40s and 50s.
The month of June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.
Study shows that men are four times more likely to die by suicide than women.
On the 29th of May 2026, Nyeri County Commissioner Ronald Mwiwawi sounded an alarm over a disturbing rise in suicide cases, revealing that the county is losing nearly one life every day, with the majority being men.
It's also revealed that men die in silence and are less likely to seek help or receive a diagnosis for depression.
Dear Men,
The words " NO" "I DON'T WANT" " I QUIT" are first steps to save yourself from depression.
- Build boundaries.
- Live within your means - be a minimalist.
- Do not be afraid of saying NO
- Learn to quit toxic environments and 'ships.
- Put yourself and your mental health first.
- Have a workout routine. Lift weights, run, dance, meditate.
Make your mental and physical health your priority.
The world is ruthless to a man. The world is a war room and a man is the opponent.
Fight with discipline ( self discipline, Financial discipline and Sexual discipline), stay focused and calculative.
NOTE: DRUGS DON'T CURE DEPRESSION.
We shall overcome ✊
if love ever finds me again, may the universe let me meet someone who loves me as deep as i do. Someone who is never okay with hurting me. Someone who is loyal, kind & devoted. Someone who will never make me feel unwanted, someone who feels like home & also finds home in me.
Anyway, just want women around me to understand, you need to start aspiring towards financial independence with the exact same urgency society wants you to aspire towards marriage.
Getting hurt by someone you went all out for will mess you up mentally. Because you weren't half in.
You gave them your time, your energy, your loyalty, things that don't come easy when you've been hurt before.
A depressão funcional existe, se chama (Distimia). Você trabalha, brinca, cuida dos que estão ao seu redor, se arruma, mas mentalmente está se afogando em seus próprios pensamentos e ninguém sabe.

The best time to start was years ago. The second-best time is today. It starts with taking risk & being more disciplined to achieve. Be persistent when the struggle come. Cut the distraction and lock in.
