Standing Up for Yourself

A long time ago I realized that standing up for myself was really self care.

I am saying I realized it but I really only started to 100% stand up for myself until recently. I know when we are kids people pick on us and we want to stand up for ourselves . But in our adulting life there are these moments where the bully is no longer the kids it’s just life.

It could literally be your manager at work, your boyfriend/girlfriend , or I got one even better the people tha we actually say they are our friends can bully us. Subtle mistreatment , making you feel guilty about something that has nothing to do with you so instead of you doing the best for you we do the the best for them because THEY will feel happier.

Being selfless is cool and I’m not preaching to be selfish but I’m definitely saying have some discernment . Don’t live an unhappy life because you want to be accepted by someone. Trust me it’s still the same as you standing up for yourself! People will watch you cry yourself to sleep , they will ignore you like you don’t even exist after you have literally went out on a limb to please them.

It’s so hard nowadays to tell whose true . Just know you have to be concerned about

you because no one else will!!! Life is full of alot of things but we have to look 👀 at it with clear thinking not always with our emotions . Your emotions won’t fight for you for some reason they always fight for everyone else .

Happy Adulting ,

Accepting Bare Minimum has to stop ✋

Just when you thought I might not ruffle some feathers 🪶 yep this is a big one ☝🏽 and it’s one we need to talk about because it has happened so often in different faucets of everyone’s life. I was recently in a situation where a guy I was dating was a huge liar and the funny part is me and the other woman ended up becoming friends once we found out about each other. The biggest thing for me with meeting her and becoming her friend made me realize how much we as woman accept the bare minimum and we also think that the guy who is a liar and a cheat is going to change for us at some point ,because we are so nice and loving. I realized how many of us will say things like he was working and paying the bills I was so proud of him. Why are we so proud of bare minimum behavior?? Most men I know are paying the bills because they just want to do that, they feel it is a part of their duties as a man. However, if a guy comes along who is always looking for just sex ...

The Grind

Well, its super obvious that I should be talking about the grind. Especially since I haven't posted since damn near January. I had my Grand Opening for my Permanent Makeup Microblading studio in Atlanta and I have been Bartending in Midtown!! Yay to me getting shit done right!!💙 But honestly inflation has been an absolute Bitch! I feel like I am constantly on the move, and I know everyone else is no stranger to this life of go go go!! I sometimes just want to give back to those less fortunate than me. Its interesting to me that finding the time to even do noble things has been hard lately. Its definitely a time thing. To be honest if there was one thing I could do it would be volunteer, but I am literally trying to understand how do the laws of the land insist we just run around paying bills all the time this is the most mindless thing I can think of to enforce on a society. Working to ...

New Age Dating : Texting , Tinder WTF

I recently read somewhere that a guy is Not invested in deepening the connection between you if he only texts you and doesn't initiate calls or plans to meet up in person, it's a strong indication that he might not be as interested in you as someone he wants to pursue seriously; while texting can be a way to connect, a lack of effort to move beyond texting could be a lack of genuine interest. I have found that nothing ever really evolves from a text relationship for most people, however how interesting is it that a friend of mines met someone online and they are now about to get married . The real question is how can you really tell if a person is being truly sincere with only texting and online only communicating? In general Texting is a low-effort way to communicate, so if he only texts, he might be comfortable keeping you at a distance without actively pursuing you. A guy or girl who wants to get to know you better will likely want to have ...
