Real respect often arrives after discomfort.
After the boundary.
After the “no.”
After the withdrawal of access.
After I stop negotiating my value.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

True respect does not require me to shrink, over-explain, over-give, over-perform, or emotionally babysit people into treating me properly.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

stop romanticizing struggle as proof of depth.

Allow softness, stability, beauty, peace, wealth, support, rest, and mutuality to exist in your life without feeling like you have to earn them through suffering first. You don't.

Opportunities are like buses - there’s always another one coming.

Book preorder launching today…kinda excited about it. It’s been a long time coming.

Control is the quiet addiction nobody warns you about.
No smell. No trace.

But the high?
Power over outcomes.
Power over people.
Power over perception.

And like any drug…
the more you get, the more you think you need.

Until you don’t even recognize yourself without it.

I adore living in Brazil. I genuinely do…but trying to find lashes is like a treasure hunt.

Neurodivergent people don’t recharge by sleeping. They recharge by being completely left alone long enough for their nervous system to reset

Boundaries make people uncomfortable. Well…you thinking that I’m solely alive for your benefit and obligated to be used for your consumption as you see fit makes me uncomfortable.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

One of the best things I ever did was disappear to heal. Sometimes we feel obligated to fulfill the needs of everyone else at our own detriment, while our nervous system is screaming for attention. I listened. I’m not sure just how bad it would have been if I hadn’t.

Every miracle in the Bible,
first started as a problem.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

You don’t attract what you want, you attract what you are. So when you build something up on the inside, you are designed to attract that.
Don’t like what you are attracting?
Change your inside...

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

The most important thing in your life is what you believe about your future.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

Hope is dope.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

One day of favor is worth a lifetime of labor! 🙌🏼

What you think is what you become.

“For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he...”
Proverbs 23:7

Faith has no respect for the word “impossible”...where you see “impossible” faith hits the delete key.

[Jj Thames @jjthames]

Cool bop jazz is my ji-zam!!! ❤️

Faith filled words dominate the law of death. Death and fear filled words will dominate the words of life.
