just being able to believe in yourself in the midst of misery is amazing to me. being able to be at your lowest and envision your highest self. and believe in her. that she is you. is something in itself.

God is taking them out of your life because he knows you would’ve sacrificed everything just to make it work

once we cross paths you will think about me forever

it has gotten better before. it will get better again. and again and again and again.

y’all be out here looking for vlogs and podcasts that feed your delusion. some men ain’t shit. some women ain’t shit. side hustles are possible, but let’s be real ain’t no such thing as starting one without some kind of money, resources, or access. manifestation is cute, but strategy pays the bills. learn to study faces. body language. energy. some people smile while plotting your downfall. don’t get caught slipping. being self sufficient? that’s always the end goal. depend on you first. everything else is a bonus, not a necessity. privacy is power. let people assume, let them wonder. stop chasing aesthetics over substance. being seen ain’t the same as being respected. healing ain’t pretty. sometimes it’s isolation. silence will teach you what noise never could. stop being loyal to trauma. growth doesnt come wrapped in comfort. it may come in lessons, losses, and long nights. evolving ain’t betrayal. you can’t heal in the same room that hurt you. being tired doesn’t mean you should quit. rest. regroup. keep going.

It’s almost as if nobody wants to admit that they might not be prepared to do the work it takes to love somebody. And it can be laborious. To be intimate with someone who is flawed (which is the standard) requires us to expose our own flaws. We don’t talk about the heavy responsibility of that. We don’t talk about how we’re too lazy or too cowardly sometimes. We instead accuse love of being elusive. It isn’t. It is omnipresent. It asks us to be better people. And sometimes we flat out refuse.

I think the hot new trends for this summer should be reading comprehension and critical thinking skills
