If we are not anti-racist, we are racist. There is no neutral when black lives continue to be dispensable and disposable day after day. There is no neutral when we gently benefit from white supremacy without challenging its demonic, inherent evils. This is our work.
Day 55 of self isolation: Had online therapy this morning. Talked about how my views about dating have shifted.
My therapist: “You’ve gotten through a pandemic alone. Before you thought you NEEDED a relationship. Now you realize you don’t, & that’s a powerful place to be.”💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Let’s be clear:
You are NOT what your critics say about you but you WILL become whatever you say to yourself about you.
Be mindful of the thoughts you repeat about you.
Dating in 2020 shouldn't be this hard.
All I'm looking for is someone to facemask with on Sunday nights and to yell at Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy with me.
My cousin told me her dad was giving her shit about Finding A Man so she gave him her tinder and he sat on the couch swiping left for two hours like “omai...they are all so ugly” until he apologized and told her to take her time
My mind is on the discouraged this morning. Never underestimate the power of discouragement. It’s one of the most effective ways the enemy of our souls can take us out. It’s how he kills us - kills our joy, faith, work, fruit - so slowly we don’t know we’re dying till we’re dead.
In the midst of life changes, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and unsteady. With so much change, we don’t know where to turn.
But friend? While seasons of our life will change, God stays the same.
Y’ALL.
I’m at the doctor and when I got on the scale the nurse said, “Are you okay with knowing the number on the scale or do you prefer not to?”
!!!!!!!
Every. Single. Medical. Professional. Should. Do. This.
The best piece of dating advice one of my best guy friends ever gave me was “Mandy, you must master the art of catch and release.” With modern dating you have to keep palms up, expectations down. Allow them to flow in, & allow them to flow right back out.
