"menstruation shouldn't be talked about in public"
"No one needs to know you're on your period"
Words of a man who pees and wiggles his penis in public
My ex ,out of excitement, offered to teach me how to drive with his new car .
On the first day, he showed me the basis.
The next day, he asked me where everything was and I showed him. Then he asked “If you want to turn to the right, where do you turn the steering wheel to ?” . I replied “To the left” . There was a pause. “And if you want to turn to the left?” . I replied “you turn the wheel to the right”. He looked at me , buckled my seat belt and drove off . I asked where we were going to but he didn’t reply. He drove till we found one of those driving school cars . He pointed at the car and said “baby, that’s the type of kabukabu car, you’ll practice driving with whenever you’re ready. Please,just be a passenger princess in my car”
nobody talks about the angry stage of healing. the rage you feel when you realize how much and how long you were taken advantage of. the absolute disgust you feel towards those people that mislead you. it comes in waves. sometimes you’ll feel healed and then it suddenly hits you.
Oh, I have a few
1. If it bugs you when you’re dating, it’s not gonna go away once you marry
2. Look at people in the eye when you say hi/hello/good morning…
3. When you finally find something that took you a while to locate, put it back in the first place you tried. That's where it belongs.
4. When you say no, don’t explain. Explanations indicate you can be argued out of your stance.
5. Nothing is the end of the world except the ACTUAL end of the world.
6. The end of the road is the beginning of a road
7. Not everybody has to find their passion. Just find a job you don't hate.
8. Before saying something about someone else, pretend that person is listening and how you would feel if you knew they heard you.
9. Read books. Expand your mind, vocabulary, and perspective. Never stop learning.
10. Don’t walk with both of your hands in your pockets - if you trip, you’ll fall flat on your face.
11. Always write things down, on paper, or on your phone, especially when you find yourself "taking mental notes" because you. will. forget.
12. Remember that it’s a privilege to have dishes that need washing
13. Perfume and cologne are meant to be discovered, not to announce your presence.
14. If your dog doesn’t like someone, trust their judgment.
15. If you’re trying to make a decision, flip a coin. Then pick whichever option it is you’re rooting for while the coin is still in the air.
On this day, one year ago, I became a barrister.
I have come so far in one year; my testimonies are innumerable. I am helped by God and favored by men. My name is grace, my being is ambition. Cheers to more blissful years ahead🥂
Happy Barniversary, Ette.
