idk but hi

Katsuki Bakugo is not only a Pro-Hero, he's also a professional boyfriend !

He's number one in everything, always aiming for the best, meaning he takes every single one of his titles seriously, and boyfriend might just be top of the list (even if he'd never outwardly admit it !!!)

You're bad at cooking? he'll do it for you. You're good at it? he'll still do it for you. Might just be his ego but he gets a warm little feeling when you eat whatever he makes.

When you get home tired from work he lets you rest, helping you get into bed, undo your clothes and makeup as you rant about your weird coworker's strange comments towards you. And when you show up next day and said coworker seems to be gone? That's just his job as a boyfriend, and a little call to HR goes a long way when it comes from a pro hero in the top 10... or 20... or wherever he stands in his very fluctuating rank that morning.

He participates in your hobbies, and maybe gets a little competitive with it too. He's unbelievably annoying but you still love him somehow so he stops his whining if he notices it bothers you. Mostly!

He watches all your tiktoks, notes down locations for future dates and buys whatever dumb matching pj's set you see on posts, wearing them even if the cheap polyester makes him itch all over, making his usual grunpy mood even worse. You think it's cute, take 1000 pictures and squeeze his cheeks between kisses before inviting him in for an apology shower.

He might be the best boyfriend in the world but you never fall behind ♡ taking care of him everyday after he's back from work, massaging his sore muscles and smothering him in warm affection because it's what he deserves for working so hard, both inside and out of your relationship.

You're the only one who can handle him and he doesn't plan to let you go, so he might just be planning on changing the label. He's already the number 1 boyfriend, is it time to upgrade to husband? he knows he'll rise to the top anyways.

Identifying Your Core Values

Hi Goddesses! Welcome back to day 4 of our journey to become our best selves before 2025! We're going to explore something truly transformative: identifying our core values. Those guiding principles that make us feel truly aligned and authentic in everything we do.

But here's the thing, sometimes we're living by values we've inherited from others rather than ones we've consciously chosen for ourselves. Maybe you're chasing success in a way your parents defined it, or pursuing goals that society says you should want. Today, we're going to dig deeper and find YOUR authentic values.

Remember when we were kids, and everyone asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up? Well, today I want to ask you something different: Who do you want to BE, not just what do you want to DO?

First things first, close your eyes for a moment and think about the times when you felt most alive, most proud, most like yourself. Maybe it was standing up for a friend, crushing a personal goal, or choosing the harder but more honest path. Each of these moments are like a little clue pointing to what truly matters to you.

Here's a little exercise I love doing:

Take out your journal or open your notes app. Think about your hero, could be anyone from your grandma to Michelle Obama. What qualities do you admire in them? Write them down. Now here's the plot twist: those qualities you admire? They're usually the values you hold dear yourself. Mind-blowing, right?

Try this tonight: Before bed, think about one moment today that felt meaningful. Did you help someone without being asked? Speak your truth even though it was scary? Create something that made you proud? Write it down. That warm feeling? It's connected to your values.

Want to take this deeper? Here's your action plan for the next few days:

Create your "Peak Moments" list: Write down 3-5 times when you felt most fulfilled

Play detective: What common themes do you see in these moments?

Do the "Future Me" visualization: Imagine yourself at the end of 2025 feeling incredibly proud and satisfied. What choices did you make? What guided those choices?

Make it real: Pick ONE value you've identified and think of a tiny way to honor it tomorrow

Now, from all these reflections, choose 3-5 core values that feel most authentic to you. Some examples might be:

Growth

Authenticity

Compassion

Freedom

Creativity

Connection

Excellence

Adventure

Wisdom

Service

Once you've identified your core values, ask yourself:

How can I honor these values in small ways each day?

What current activities or commitments align with these values?

What might need to change to better reflect these values?

You're probably already living some of your values without even realizing it! Those instinctive choices you make, the hills you choose to die on, the things that light you up inside? Those are your values in action, loves!

Still unsure? Look at what makes you angry or frustrated, often, these emotions flare up when something violates our core values.

Remember, this isn't about picking values that sound good or that you think you "should" have. It's about recognizing what already resonates deep in your heart.

Drop a comment and share one value you want to embody more in 2025! I'll start: I'm focusing on authenticity, being real with myself and others, even when it's uncomfortable. Your turn!
