I finally understand what Machiavelli meant when he said, “Never play fair in a game where others cheat.” It doesn’t mean become evil. It means stop being naive. Stop bringing honesty to people who study manipulation, stop giving access to people who weaponize closeness, and stop expecting clean hands from people who already showed you they’ll throw dirt. Sometimes wisdom is not revenge. Sometimes wisdom is learning the rules of the room before the room uses your goodness against you.
Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.
how wonderful it is that flowers can be consumed as tea. rose, hibiscus, chrysanthemum, lotus, butterfly pea, chamomile, lavender, calendula, jasmine, passion flower. this is what fairies drink
When you stop reading books, you start losing verbal dexterity, depth of thought and imagination.
A closed book is a closed mind.
Don't EVER stop reading.
so i found out my “perfect day” formula
- hot yoga class
- smoothie
- full body massage
- tequila + hot tub + bass house
- rinse off
- sex and the city in bed
- sushi dinner (loads of pickled ginger, yellow tail, albacore, lychee martinis)
- shower sex (LIGHTS OFF!!!)
every time you replace “this is hard” with “what’s the first step?” you shift brain activity from your amygdala (fear) to your prefrontal cortex (problem-solving).
that’s neuroplasticity in real time.
My favorite part of resurrection is when they went back and didn’t find Jesus where they left him!! Don’t let NOBODY find you where they left you. Elevate! He got up! You can too! Nothing is too hard for my God!

I’m a firm believer that if you feel stuck or depressed in life it’s because your soul is asking you to make a change or do something radically different and you’re not listening.
when i say go outside i mean pottery classes, open mic nights, pilates, long walks, game nights, art exhibits, botanical gardens, book signings, sound baths, massages, gun ranges, outdoor cafes, jazz lounges. that kind of outside.
