Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it's within your control, go do something about it. If it's not, you're just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.
B4 I got a dog three years ago, I read a book on how to raise one. The core idea was simple: positive reinforcement, and correction without frustration. I spent the next 14 months training that dog. I applied the same approach to my two boys, who were toddlers at the time.
😂😂😂 Bro, I’ve dated so much nonsense in the past that my brain automatically assumes I’m the one paying for everything.
My babe said she’s planning a dental date for us, mouth cleaning, teeth whitening, everything. I told her, No problem, when I have money we’ll do it.😭
Next thing, she got angry and said, I’m arranging the date. You’re not paying.
At that moment, I realized not everyone is out to drain your pocket. Some people genuinely want to do nice things for you. Maybe it’s time I unlearn some of the survival mentality my past relationships gave me.
As a man,
When you finally get your own apartment,
Kindly entertain the possibility that a friend may need to squat with you for a few days, weeks, or even months.
When that happens, give that guest or friend of yours the best hospitality you can afford.
There will be days you'll miss your privacy, but never give your friend an attitude or make him feel like an unwanted guest.
No temporary inconvenience is worth sacrificing a genuine friendship.
Most times, squatting is only temporary, and it may be one of the few moments in life when your friend truly needs you.
There will be frustrating days, but never fall into the temptation of talking down to your friend or making him feel like a burden.
Never deny a man a space to rest his head.
Today it's him. Tomorrow it could be you.
Be kind.
Most relationship fights don’t come from what was said. they come from what was typed and misunderstood. If it matters, don’t text it talk it through before your feelings turn into a misunderstanding.
somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. its very important that you see that journey through
