Please don’t invite me to a farmers market and 75% of the vendors are jewelry and shea butter. I will cry. I want infused salts and butter, fresh bread, peppered jelly with 22 eggs varieties.
Why are people in my wedding party giving me a hard time about RSVPing 😭 “You already know I’m going to be there” “Can’t you just do it for me” 1. We need RSVPs to have the guest count and final numbers in one place and 2. It takes 30 seconds, we literally have an online RSVP, the bride has a MILLION things to do, just DO it omg 😭
an elderly man was once asked how he managed to stay married for over 50 years. his answer was unexpectedly blunt: "there were many mornings where I woke up, looked at my wife, and didn't feel a single spark of romance. i was tired, or she was irritable, or life was simply heavy."
when asked if that lack of "feeling" worried him, he shook his head.
"i didn't marry a feeling," he explained. "i married a human being. On the days the feeling went missing, i simply worked harder to serve her. i made the coffee exactly how she liked it.
i listened to her stories even if I’d heard them a dozen times. i chose to act like a man in love until the feeling decided to show back up."
i learned the same lesson from my father and the men in my community : real love isn't something you find; it's something you build when you’d rather be doing something else.

I met a first daughter who told me she loves men who don’t just accept anything, men who don’t get bossed around, men who lead and she follows. Whats funny is, this babe loves to boss people around and when you don’t do what she says, her mood changes.
Made me understand something about first daughters, if you don’t lead, she will lead, and her leading makes you less attractive to her
