Words that resonated with me this month 💭♥️

[Sylvester McNutt III @SylvesterMcNutt]

Sometimes people struggle with being consistent because they are doing too much and spreading themselves thin.

Keep it simple: focus on one thing at a time for a duration of time.

A focused effort over and over goes much further than an unfocused one.

Is it just my IG feed or has everyone quit their corporate job to become a business/life/health coach who makes reels all day and is also starting a podcast? 🤔💭

Read this the next time you have a disagreement with a lover, a friend, or a family member — actually, it's probably better that you read this beforehand — then, share it with somebody who also needs to read it.

Friendly reminder -
Dogs are a HUGE commitment for ~10-13 years. If you don’t have the time 🕐 and money💰 to properly look after, train, and exercise a puppy/dog several times a day then you’re not ready for that commitment.

And same goes for dog sitting! 🐶

You ever be minding your own business then God puts something in your face & you feel like he’s saying, “Just wanted to show you what I was saving you from that time I snatched your ass up & away from that human you thought you wanted to be with back then. You’re welcome.” 😩🙏🏽♥️

Sometimes, you have to subtract yourself in order to add to yourself. It doesn't take a mathematician to know when your absence from a group or situation is exactly what you need to further your progression.

So I got Invisalign today and I texted my crush to break the news to him since we have a date this weekend and he just called me because he wanted to hear my new lisp 🙃

If we replaced cancel culture with critical thinking, we'd have empathetic conversations instead of emotional reactions. And, by talking, we learn to separate honest mistakes from actual hate.

You've been bullied into believing you're crazy. Well, you're not crazy for questioning what's happening, you're not crazy for disagreeing with this shit, and you're definitely not crazy for seeing the hypocrisy in all of it—you're fucking crazy for sitting back and ignoring it.

If Texas GOP truly believed a fertilized egg is a human life, their abortion ban would mandate upon conception—welfare benefits, child tax credits, child support, & COVID relief checks

But it doesn't do any of that, b/c it isn't about protecting life—it's about controlling women

Found this old journal entry I wrote in 2015 -

Life isn’t easy, but it is/can be wonderful - a crazy, wonderful journey that will have ups and downs. Appreciate what you have and the loving people in your life. When in doubt, remember to breathe
