One step closer to be human

joy is often just remembering what you already have ☕️🫖💌

“I will breathe. I will think of solutions. I will not let my worry control me. I will not let my stress level break me. I will simply breathe. And it will be OK.”

“We do not heal the past by dwelling there. We heal the past by living fully in the present.”

“Three things you can’t recover in life … The moment, after it’s passed The words, after they’re spoken and The time, after it’s lost.”

“Until you get comfortable with being alone, you’ll never know if you are choosing someone out of love or loneliness.”

“I’ve lived too long with pain. I won’t know who I am without it.”

“Experience is a brutal teacher, but you learn fast.”

“Some of the most poisonous people come disguised as family and friends.”

“Once you realize there is life after mistakes, you gain a self-confidence that never goes away.”

“There are different ways of loving, aren’t there?”

I actually do think we should discourage women from becoming housewives. Do not become financially dependent on a man. That's how a lot of women ended up dead over the years. A man gets violent suddenly and you have to choose between homelessness or potentially dying at his hand because you have an enormous gap in your resume and no degrees or certifications or anything that will help you pursue a career that will allow you to be financially independent. He owns your bank account. His name is probably the one on the car. Try and leave and he can report it stolen. Where will you go then?

And if you do become a housewife, take steps to protect yourself. Make sure you’re legally married, for starters; stay-at-home girlfriends have very little legal recourse to claim their partner’s assets in a breakup. Make sure your name is on the house deed/rental agreement, and have your car in your name, even if your spouse is paying for it. Have your spouse transfer money every month into an account solely in your name, so you can buy yourself things without needing permission, but also so you can save up to leave if needed.
