Romance itself is dying because of illiteracy. When you read letters from the Civil War era, men were shockingly lyrical because they had heads full of poetry. Literacy fuels passion. Beauty, wisdom, empathy, passion are vanishing from the world because people don’t read.

This girl on TikTok said, “take care of yourself so you don’t become a hater”
A lot of women don’t realize that the hate they throw at other women is just unhealed envy. You’re not mad at her, you’re mad that you want to do what she’s doing but you haven’t had the energy, motivation, or mindset to start.
And that’s okay. But you have to be real with yourself. Because watching another woman put in work and glow from the inside out shouldn’t make you bitter, it should inspire you to work on yourself.
The only reason people think my sweetness is fake is because they use their whimsy as a weapon to do underhanded manipulative shit. Of course you didn't trust me. You thought I was like YOU.
