Please INVEST IN YOUR LOOKS, get the facial, buy these shoes, the jewelry, get your hair and nails done. You look better, you feel better, you do better, people treat you better, life gets better.
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
really be sitting back like damn i really could’ve died this year . i really had to yell in agony for that hospital to take me serious. i really sat with an ovarian torsion for over 12 hours . i really lost half my reproductive system at 24 . and could lose the other half . so many complications. so many hormone changes. i don’t even feel like myself . i’m blessed don’t mean to sound ungrateful but today is hard . i feel tired . hope any other person struggling with pmos/pcos is getting the help they need. you are not alone on your journey. hugs from your cyster 🫂
Girls, please PICK THE GENTLE ONE. The kind one. The one who brings you peace. The protective one. The one who is sure of you. The one who respects you. The one who understands your silence. The one who sees your heart without judgement. The one who holds your dreams with care.
Love after 25 is different. You’re not looking for sparks. You’re looking for stability, kindness and shared goals. You’ve outgrown games and butterflies. You’re craving peace, emotional safety, and someone whose future aligns with yours.
I had a realization a few years ago that I don't need to figure out why this person is doing a certain behavior I dislike. All that matters is I know I don't like the behavior and I can leave
Got out of survival mode. Actually place God first. Let tomorrow worry for itself. Understand God will never leave me nor forsake me, having slower mornings, exercising as a routine instead of goal, eat healthier, stop drinking excessively, journal, more dates alone, etc.
If a relationship can be ruined by simply having a conversation about your emotions, standards, or expectations, then it was never a relationship worth being in
No amount of chemistry can ever make up for the anxiety that comes from being with someone who’s emotionally inconsistent, unkind, or misaligned with your core values.
Don't date an emotionally intelligent person if you're not ready to hear the truth.
you know why?
because they're gonna call you out, not to hurt you but to wake you up. they'll see right through your excuses and your patterns. they'll also see those walls you build to protect yourself. they're gonna notice when you're being avoidant. they're gonna notice when you're projecting your pain onto them. and you know what, they're gonna hold you accountable because to them real love isn't about pretending everything's okay. to them it's about growth.
emotionally intelligent people do not play games. they don't do silent treatments or manipulation. they communicate even when it's uncomfortable and if you're not ready for that level of honesty, it's gonna feel like confrontation when really it's connection. so don't date someone emotionally aware, if you're still in love with your comfort zone because they will push you to see yourself and once you do, you can't unsee it. they're gonna love you deeply but they'll also challenge the version of you that hides behind your ego. that's where healing begins that's where real growth starts.
Don’t borrow shame from the past. You are not that person anymore and you simply didn't know better. No reason to beat yourself up for it. All you can do is really do better.
