The wildest part about POVERTY is how much time it steals. Waiting for buses. Calling assistance offices. Comparing grocery prices. Fighting insurance. Sitting at laundromats. Being poor is a second job nobody pays you for.
1 parking spot available , thank God for favor. Your food was $22.19 and you had $22.22 , thank God for favor. The disconnection date is on the 14th and you get paid on the 13th, thank God for favor.
You cannot spend years breaking a child's spirit and then expect a few words in adulthood to repair what took years to destroy. You cannot teach a child to fear your footsteps, your voice, your moods, and your anger, then expect them to see you as a source of comfort later in life
My grandma always said “toodaloo” instead of goodbye because she hated goodbyes. When she passed away we were on our way to bury her ashes in the cemetery and we were stopped at a traffic light.

If a man is written for you, God will soften his heart towards you. You won't have to beg. You won't have to lose yourself. Love written by God will never need chasing.
i actually think "surface level" friendships are very healthy. not everyone in your life has to be your ride or die. some friends are for the gym. some are for going out. some are just for complaining about work or bureaucracy. when you stop expecting everyone to be your everything, the disappointment disappears. those deep convos and connections are for the 2-3 people closest to you

A ngga ain’t never hated it over here 😂 He hated the RULES & REGULATIONS. You not gone play with me. You not gone talk to me crazy. I’m not sharing you. I’m not shrinking myself to make you feel bigger. If you can’t handle a strong woman, go be with a weak one. RESPECTFULLY 🫶🏽
Women get prettier when our nervous system is regulated & we're not living in chronic stress. Longer hair, shinier hair, softer + glowier skin, no bloating, no breakouts, no mood swings. We’re our best version when we rest more, slow down, spend more time in the sun, eat warm foods, dance, frolic... Biologically we're wired to be whimsical
