being a girl is wanting to save money but also wanting your hair done, nails done, gym membership, skincare, cute outfits, and a little treat every day 😭
I was born for romantic love, Sunday funday, quality time, lying on the chest of the person I love, spending time with my loved ones, little gestures, feeling deeply, all of it.
Acts of service men are dangerously attractive.
Fixing problems, making sure you’ve eaten, charging your phone, carrying your things… that’s romance to me.
Children are in the forest dying you dey write textbook for who to read on social media? Their parents? It can never be well with the president and his advisers. Ghouls. Wicked, soulless people
Major cheat code for life: Be fully where your feet are. When you're at work, work. When you're with family, be with family. When you're resting, rest. Most people are physically present and mentally everywhere else.
Some guy at the gym every morning 6am.
He takes the 45lb plates, all of them.
He loads one bar and he does one rep and sits for 20 minutes.
Then unloads and he leaves, he does this everyday.
We hated him, and nicknamed him the plate dragon.
People started coming in at 5:45 to beat him. He'd just wait smiling and he would take them at 6.
One rep, sit then leaves.
I finally asked him Bro what are you doing?
He says, "Physical therapy."
Shows me his arm and he has a nasty scar. Shoulder rebuilt.
"Doctor said one rep at full weight daily or the muscle dies."
"Sitting is because I'II pass out if I stand."
Next day I helped him load the bar.
Next week three of us would help him.
Now 6am is "help Dave not die" club.
He brings protein muffins.
We don't call him plate dragon anymore.
We judge routines without knowing the reason behind them. Respect changed that whole gym.
There’s a phase you get to in life life,
all those hymns you sang in your childhood as mere songs , starts making total sense
Because what a friend we really have in Jesus ?
