I saw a lady sharing that her man paid all the bills while she went to school and raised their kids. Now she's a registered nurse, and she's holding things down while he studies engineering. That's what partnership looks like.
Today I was granted access to speak with incarcerated firefighters.
They told me:
- they hadn’t showered in 5 days
- they were not provided regularly meals
- they were working 24 hours in a row
- they feel under appreciated and underpaid
A big fuck you to employers that expect people to come to work tomorrow after people spent the entire night awake worried their neighborhood would burn.
@isabelunraveled Don’t waste your time dating the wrong guy. Definitely don’t marry the wrong guy.
Absolutely don’t have kids with the wrong guy.
Ignore all your friends getting married for the wrong reasons - they’ll divorce in their 30s.
DELETE conversations that hurt you whenever you read them. Delete that phone number who hurts u. Block contacts. Restrict. Mute. Unfollow. Remove negative energy from your life. Do whatever it is that you need to do to heal and create a positive environment for yourself!
I stay away from people who avoid self reflection & accountability. If you can't keep it real with yourself, ain't no way you can keep it real with me.
Normalize being ok with letting people think what they want about you. The idea that we're going to be liked, validated, or accepted by everyone is an illusion. Our peace, mental health and happiness is more important than other people's perceptions, opinions, or approval of us.
