Me thinking about why the universe keep sending me "lessons" when all i wanted was to be happy.

Another thing is that we don’t even talk to each other anymore. We don’t say hey you mis-stepped here or hey you misread this situation between us. We just write about you on social media now. We humiliate you.
Very tough conditions for openness and vulnerability those.

you need to learn to stay away from people who make you mean, crazy or reactive. that’s not you or who you want to be. so if they being that out of you, they’ve got to go

There is absolutely nothing a woman can do to avoid being a single mother, not one.

i have a theory that we live in a matrix.
from childhood clips to global stadiums, certain players are filmed, protected and promoted as if the script was written before they could speak.
the camera follows them, the spotlight isolates them

it’s not random at all that we’ve seen ronaldo sweeping the streets before stardom;
neymar being interviewed as a child;
messi bathing yamal;

this pattern suggests something deeper than coincidence
the cameras do not find them by accident. the system identifies them early… their childhood moments are archived why??? it is prophecy in boots. and maybe, just maybe, the stars were never random. they were selected by the system long before the world started watching

I registered my ID on the Southern African Fraud Prevention Service (SAFPS) some time ago. Forgot about it till this week bc I wanted to open an account & the retailer called asking for my SAFPS ref number. They couldn’t activate the account without it. https://t.co/zF1pIE9Xut

Triple Black femicide: Zandile Tshuma, 42, and her daughters Natalie, 15, and Nala, 5, were found dead in Bedfordshire.

Police have named her husband and the girls’ father, Ndodana Mkhanyisi Tshuma (also known as Mark), as a suspect and believe he left the UK for Zimbabwe.

One of my favorite things I've read recently is about a woman who said whenever a negative thought about herself popped up, she would shout "GUARDS!" and imagine knights entering and carrying the thought away.

My momma always told me you can be dead ass right but the way you handle shit can make you wrong as well.

And for my next trick I will call life beautiful and instantly watch it become so

[Brooda John @Nigeriangod_]

I’ve never seen anyone tell a man to endure a bad wife, as soon he has a bad wife or he start complaining about his wife,the first thing he’s asked to do is “leave that woman and marry another woman”, nobody is asking him to pray or fast for his wife or be patient with his wife but when a woman marries a bad Husband everyone is suddenly telling her to pray, the church tells her to endure and fast and give him time to change.

They’re telling her she’s a mother and men are big babies so she need to treat him as one, she should nurture a grown man,it’s the reason why they associate endurance,patience and long suffering with the female gender

Why’s endurance meant for women and men are told to love themselves and never tolerate any forms of disrespect from a woman?, if you like endure rubbish from a man, he wouldn’t tolerate the same from you.

[@luphumlongcayisa @luphumlongcayis]

If you wish to remain resourceful and maintain your integrity, learn to respect and protect the people you have access to. Do not burden them with trivial matters. Do not constantly call in for favours. Guard that access carefully and use it sparingly, thoughtfully and only when absolutely necessary. Ironically, the more respectful you are of a person’s time and position, the more willing they become to assist when you genuinely need them. The goal is to cultivate relationships built on mutual respect rather than relentless extraction. Respect people so much that when your name appears on their phone, they know it matters. Respect them so much that when you call, they are willing to drop everything and take your call.

Night school class dismissed…

i remain absolutely stunned by the degree of perseverance needed to build a meaningful life

[Gauteng Health @GautengHealth]

You’ve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went out… just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.

Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.

Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.

If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.

Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.
