A man who "only has eyes for you" is a form of spiritual protection you didn't know you needed. Because a man with a wandering gaze will drive you to doubt your radiance, and slowly steal your peace and softness. Loyalty is a love language, but it's also a covering.
I don’t want my daughter to be like me. I want her to speak up sooner. Walk away faster. Trust herself deeper. Apologize less. Take up more space. Ask bigger questions. Dream louder. And if that means she becomes everything I wasnt… GOOD!
I sit quietly and realize that God has been taking care of me this whole time. Maybe not in luxurious ways. Maybe not an easy life. But through protection,provision, good health, surviving hard days and always having just enough to keep going.
I’m in love with this sentence:
“The degree to which a person can grow is directly proportional to the amount of truth he can accept about himself without running away.”
One day gents you must understand that women are reciprocators, not initiators. They step AFTER y’all step. You lead, they FOLLOW. Idk how else to explain this but it’s really SO simple.
🤦🏽♂️
I realised there’s a certain toughness you have to develop if you want to thrive and survive on this planet
You have to become unstoppable. Unconquerable. Invictus
Life will test you. People will try to break you. Situations will try to slow you down. But when your will is stronger than the world outside you, nothing can hold you back
You don’t conquer life by avoiding storms. You conquer life by walking straight through them.
So if you’re going through something right now, keep going. You’re closer than you think. Don’t stop now
i can't be your peace if you're not providing the environment for me to provide the peace. stop expecting from a woman you constantly giving problems, challenges and you're not providing a safe space for me. peace is present where security is found.
why does no one talk about how hard it is to force yourself to walk away from someone you absolutely adore because no matter how badly you want them in your life, they just keep hurting you and leaving your emotional needs unmet. how confusing it is when the person who makes you so happy is also the same person that makes you so miserable
Life teaches you detachment the hard way. Nothing truly belongs to you. People change, moments pass. Love can be here one day and gone the next. Savor every bit of it while it’s present, but don’t cling too tightly. When things shift, release them. When the energy starts to fade, step back and guard your peace.
You can tell a lot about a person by what they do after hurting you.
Some apologize. Some reflect. Some change. And some will rewrite the entire story in their head just to avoid feeling guilty. Accountability is rare because protecting the ego is easier than becoming better.
maybe this next chapter of your life isn't about becoming anything, maybe instead it is about slowly unbecoming all the things which no longer align with you and settling peacefully into the arms of your authentic self
