Ngl I remember I was in the county and I was sleeping hella good, so good that I was feeling around for my phone (that wasn’t there) and I woke up and seen 60 niggas in a dorm man I cried myself back to sleep
Suddenly, you're 27.
You make your coffee, rush to work, come home around 7, and you're too tired to do anything except eat, scroll on your phone, and pass out.
Then you wake up, and do it all again.
And when Friday comes, maybe you go out, or maybe you're just too tired. Then, out of nowhere, it hits you.
How did everything pass by so quickly?
You don't even feel 27.
You still feel like that 17 year old kid who thought they had all the time in the world.
But somehow, 10 years just disappeared. And you start missing the past. The feeling of being young, excited, and clueless.
But then you realize, one day, you'll miss this, too.
Being 25, being confused, being tired, but still trying.
So maybe the trick is to slow down a bit and actually live this chapter before it also becomes just another memory.
The point is no matter age you are, you'll miss these days. Life gets busy sometimes and it's always a good time to stop and smell the roses.

“If you quit in the gym, how would you feel if your lady quit during Labor?”
Dawn Staley shares a coaching and parenting truth that most people get wrong.
"I'm very different than your parents because your parents don't want you to fail, and they don't want you to be uncomfortable."
You can't steal the struggle for others.
"They do everything in their power to make sure you don't feel the pain that they felt growing up. And it's probably the biggest mistake because they're gonna fail."
Love isn't protecting someone from struggle - it's preparing them for it.
"I tell them, 'I love you enough to allow you to fail.' I do."
"I love you enough to allow you to hurt. I love you enough for you to have a bad game or bad month or even a bad season."
You can't grow without failures, mistakes, and setbacks. That's where true growth happens.
"And that's not just basketball, that's just anything. You're gonna have bad days that you're gonna have to just fight."
The greatest gift you can give someone isn't comfort. It's the ability to handle discomfort.
Optimize for resilience, not comfort. That's what prepares them for anything.

sex is NOT love.
Going on dates is NOT love.
Talking 24/7 is NOT love.
Laying up is NOT love.
love is someone seeing the absolute worst side of you & still loving you the same, it's someone making stuff happen for you when you can't, it's someone holding you & calming you down while you pouring your eyes out, it's someone voicing all the good things about you when all you see is the bad, it's someone making sure you're okay, someone praying for you every day & night, it's someone that makes you laugh & smile when you feel down,
