Normalize not forcing your importance in someone's life. Let people do what they want so you can see what they'd rather do. If someone doesn't see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.

ngl,this year really woke me up. I see clearly now,who's for me and never was. I learned to set boundaries, stop overextending myself and stop pouring into cups that don't pour back. it's not easy,but it's necessary and peaceful

Love after 25 is different. You’re not looking for sparks. You’re looking for stability, kindness and shared goals. You’ve outgrown games and butterflies. You’re craving peace, emotional safety, and someone whose future aligns with yours.

Somewhere in your 20s or 30s you’ll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop, heal from what broke you, live in your own space, reconnect with your discipline, and learn to love yourself again. It’s very important that you see that journey through.

Psychology says some people avoid socializing not because they hate people, but because they can read them too well. They walk into a room and immediately sense the fake laughs, the hidden agendas, the performances. Their nervous system doesn't misread the signal, it just refuses to ignore it. Small talk feels like a tax they didn't agree to pay. Forced smiles cost them energy that takes hours to recover. They're not broken. They're calibrated differently. They don't avoid people. They avoid emotional labor that leads nowhere. When they do connect, it's deep, intentional, real. No masks. No games. Fewer friends doesn't mean loneliness. It means higher standards. That's not antisocial behavior. That's emotional intelligence.
If you found this relatable, this account is for you.

Currently building a life that doesn't drain me. That's literally all I care about. The career. The love. The family.

AND SUDDENLY YOU'RE 26-27 SITTING ALONE IN YOUR ROOM, PARENTS ARE OLD, YOUR SIBLINGS ARE MARRIED AND BUSY WITH THEIR OWN FAMILIES AND THERE'S NO ONE YOU CAN TALK TO AND NO ONE CHECKS ON YOU.
WHAT IS IT CALLED — LONELINESS OR FREEDOM. WHATEVER IT IS, IT IS HEAVY.

doubling your income is far more important than forcing someone to text you back. you’ve got things to do, stay focused.

I'm slowly teaching myself that someone else's emergency is not my emergency. I've been running miles for people who couldn't even take a step for me.

“fuck this job” *goes to work*

[Fav ⛧ @Favwontmiss]

There is no work-life balance when you’re autistic. A week of work can take a week to recover from. Evenings vanish in exhaustion, weekends in anxiety about the next week. There’s no real downtime, no real rest just trying to recover enough to do it all over again.

I’ve never wanted something as badly as I want my life to dramatically change for the better and the best over the next few months. It’s time. It’s my time.

@Diketso747 @OGreat6 It’s not called AIDS anymore. It’s HIV: Stage 3 aka Chronic HIV. It’s not a death sentence anymore and it’s easier to manage than diabetes.

@khaled99739236 @OGreat6 You can still contract through oral sex but the risk is significantly lower than your traditional vaginal or anal route. Also you can get it through sharing needles, blood transfusions (which is rare since donated blood is tested), and blood borne pathogen exposure.

[Dear Men. @Dea_rMen]

MEN, please be honest!

Would this be enough for you? Would you live comfortably?

[Dear Self. @Dearme2_]

If you have a job, any job, be grateful. It’s rough out here.
