Whatever you do, make sure you end up with a kind partner. There will be days when love will not be enough but a kind person is a kind person regardless.
May the Lord lead your hearts into a full understanding and expression of the love of God and the patient endurance that comes from Christ. (2 Thessalonians 3:5, NLT)
-Men are providers, but if you ask them to provide you are a gold digger
- men are protectors, but who are they protecting us from? Men.
- men are the head of the house but it’s up to the woman to keep the family running
Mohamed Aziz, a 72-year-old bookseller, living in Rabat, Morocco, spends 6 to 8 hours a day reading books. Having read over 5000 books in French, Arabic, and English, he remains the oldest bookseller in Rabat, spending more than 43 years in the same location. When asked about leaving his books unattended outside, where they could potentially be stolen, he responded that those who can't read don't steal books, and those who can, aren't thieves.

Being in relationship with someone who will take care of you. Not just materialistically, but takes care of your soul, your well being, your heart, and everything that comes with you is extremely important
Ordering different food so you can taste each other’s food. Small talk with the waiter. Drinking wine and giggling over inside jokes. Flirting. Holding hands while you leave a bit tipsy.
Dinner dates are 10/10. You just have to go with people you actually like.
Dating someone with high emotional intelligence, who is not afraid of difficult conversations, and knows how to communicate their feelings effectively is extremely important
In 2005, a six-month-old kitten named Oscar was adopted by a nursing home in the US to be raised as a therapy cat. However, the workers noticed something peculiar about him.
While Oscar usually preferred to be alone, he occasionally crawled into a resident's bed and snuggled beside them.
The eerie thing about this is that the resident that Oscar would cuddle with would usually die within hours.
Initially, the staff didn't think much of it, but after this happened 20 times, they started to believe that Oscar knew when someone was close to passing away, and so when they noticed the cat next to a resident, they would call their loved ones to warn them.
Researchers speculate that Oscar could smell biochemicals released by dying cells and so chose to comfort lonely residents.
On one occasion, the staff was convinced that a resident was about to pass away, but Oscar refused to sit with them. Instead, he chose another resident who looked healthier, and that person passed away first.
Oscar died in 2022, and over the course of his life he accurately predicted over 100 deaths.
Sometimes people will project their own lack onto you. People who lack the emotional intelligence to understand you will call you sensitive. People who lack communication skills will say you're trying to argue. People who are emotionally unavailable will invalidate your feelings.
