Every woman needs a season where nobody knows what she’s doing. Not her ex. Not her friends. Not social media. Just her, God, and the plan. Some blessings grow better in silence, and everybody don’t deserve access to the version of you that’s still being built.
Zohran Mamdani says his wife, Rama Duwaji, won't take on a formal First Lady role, emphasizing that her focus is her own career as an artist. He added that she "deserves to be known in her own right" rather than through his political office.
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.

Date someone who is curious about you. Not someone who simply finds you attractive or entertaining, but someone who wants to know the person behind the surface. Someone who reads every message twice, remembers the stories you almost forgot to tell, and notices the little things no one else does. Someone who wants to know where your scars came from, what shaped you, what makes you laugh, and what keeps you awake at night. Attraction may draw someone in, but genuine interest is what makes them stay. Find someone who wants to learn every layer of who you are.
One thing I love about older friends is they don't obsess over your goals. They ask if you're taking care of yourself, if you're happy, and if you're making time for the things that bring you joy.
I'm at a point in my life where I pray to keep meeting the right people. People who genuinely want the best for me, hold me in high regard, and add peace to my life.

you never run out of things to talk about with your soulmate. when someone is meant for you, even the most random things become interesting to each other.
text them, "look at this weird shaped potato i found" and they'll be just as invested as you are 😭
