Men love to say women gossip too much. 🙄 But honestly? Some of the worst gossips I’ve ever met are men.

I knew a guy who mocked all his friends behind their backs. Once, he even told his kind, considerate mate to “stop being so nice to his woman” because it made the rest of them look bad. Translation: please lower the bar so we can keep being mediocre without getting caught.

So no, women aren’t the queens of gossip. Humans gossip. Men just call it “banter” and think it doesn’t count. 😏

I once knew a guy who bragged that he’d found the “key” to keeping a woman. His secret? Do slightly better than terrible, because the bar for men is so low that women would settle for the bare minimum.

That’s not clever—it’s manipulative, lazy, and gross. Women don’t want crumbs. Respect, kindness, and effort aren’t “extra credit,” they’re the baseline.

If the best thing you can brag about is being slightly better than awful, congratulations—you’ve proven exactly what you are. 👋

Whatever you're facing today—whether it's something big or just getting through the little things—take a moment and give yourself credit. You’ve made it this far, and that means something. You’re stronger than you give yourself credit for. Don’t forget that. 💛

Strength isn’t about having it all together. It’s about showing up, pushing forward, and trying—especially on the hard days. Keep going. You’re stronger than you think. 💙

Life has a way of throwing unexpected challenges our way, and I’ve been navigating a massive curveball lately. It hasn’t been easy, but I’m getting through it with the incredible support of my family and close friends. Their love and care have been my anchor.
This journey has reminded me of the strength and resilience we all have within us. No matter what you’re facing, know that you can overcome even the toughest times.
Sending love, joy, and all the happiness you richly deserve. Let’s keep lifting each other up and moving forward together. 💖✨

As we grow older, our perspectives on friendships often change. Many of us find that the drama we once tolerated becomes less appealing. Instead of navigating emotional turbulence, we yearn for tranquility and meaningful connections.

Setting healthy boundaries becomes essential. It’s perfectly okay to distance ourselves from toxic dynamics and embrace relationships that foster calm and support. The joy of quiet companionship—enjoying a cup of coffee or a nature walk—becomes more cherished than ever.

Ultimately, friendship is about connection and enrichment without the chaos. Let’s celebrate this journey toward a peaceful life, where friendship drama is a distant memory, and tranquility reigns supreme. 💖

What does a relationship mean to me? It’s a journey where two people grow, support, and uplift each other, not just when life is easy, but especially when it’s tough. We all deserve to be happy; every single one of us. We are beautiful beings, full of grace and light, deserving of love that nurtures our souls, encourages our dreams, and accepts us as we are. ❤️

Love should never tear us down or make us feel small. It should be a safe place where we can grow into our best selves. So, here’s to finding that kind of love and remembering that we’re all worthy of it. Let’s never settle for less than what we deserve. 💫

No one is an island. We weren't meant to walk this journey alone. Yet, how often do we hesitate to reach out, to ask for help, or to simply share what’s weighing on our hearts? We worry about being a burden, about showing vulnerability, about not having it all together.
But here’s the truth: we all have our moments of doubt and despair. And in those moments, it's okay to lean on others. It's okay to be vulnerable and admit when we need support. We’re all in this together, and sometimes, just knowing that can make all the difference. 💛

Just a quick reminder: you all deserve the best. You deserve to be loved, cared for, and treated with respect. Never settle for anything less. 💖✨

I've realized how essential it is to be in an environment that brings out the softness in me, not the survival. Surrounding myself with kindness, positivity, and love makes all the difference. Life is too short to spend it in constant fight-or-flight mode. Here's to creating and maintaining spaces that nurture our best selves. 💖✨

It's been a hot minute! Sorry y'all, I've been soaking up the sun on the Gold Coast at a rock & roll festival. I had a brilliant time. I also had plenty of time to reflect on my present & past situations in life. I'm also keen to try an escape room, if anyone is interested hit me up! Y'all take care now, be kind to yourself, don't let anyone drag you down. Love you
