AI has made the internet so much less fun. I don't want to question whether a photo of a bunny is real. I don't want to worry about someone making a deepfake just because I posted a pic with my friends. I want to read a recipe and know that the photo is a real cake they made. Yes I know I need to touch grass but also I think I should be allowed to interact online without second-guessing whether someone fabricated every image for personal gain

btw this is about the tragedy of the commons. it's not about spending too much time online or whatever - it's about the fact that a handful of people are polluting the collective space to the detriment of everyone else, and that there is no way to stop them from doing that. it sucks and it's killing the internet, and I'm mad about that

i highly recommend for women and girls to be intellectually curious and difficult to shame

Neurolplasticity and epigenetics are your ticket to an entirely new life. Your subconscious program is not fixed. Your belief system is not fixed. You can rewire yourself. You can change the programming. You can rise above the programs that are no longer serving you. The programs you outgrew. The programs that are not contributing to the reality of your dreams

Guess what, you can actually establish a subconscious program that serves you. You can establish a subconscious program that contributes to the reality of your dreams. You can brainwash yourself for joy, love, and abundance, instead of brainwashing yourself for fear, lack, and limitation.

Even as a little girl, I knew I wanted to be a writer. Filled to the brim with ambition and living in a cute apartment.

You guys lied, it gets better with money not time

[herfleur]

girl, your competition isn’t other people

it’s your bad habits ⋆ your distractions ⋆ your insecurities ⋆ your lack of discipline ⋆ your procrastination ⋆ your ego ⋆ your fears ⋆ your broken routine ⋆ your addictions ⋆ the person you don't want to be anymore

if you think a man is lying he is, goodnight

Years later, my dream job found me first. 🥂

In fact, she put the job in my hands. I sat down, and she was already running through my responsibilities. Then she looked at me and said, “By the way, this job is yours.”

What she handed me wasn’t the role I thought I wanted — it was better. She told me she wanted me to be the face of the brand, the person customers recognized and trusted. She said my presence fit the image she envisioned. She thought I was pretty, polished and personable—someone who could represent her business with ease.

What felt like a dream didn’t come from fantasizing about it. It came from planting a seed that I belonged there— and then showing up for it. I watered that seed through my actions.

I was in her business so often that I started helping people who walked in, subtly, without being asked. Before it was even my job, I was acting like it already was. That consistency made her notice my genuine interest in her work.

At first, she didn’t even know my name.

When she finally saw my résumé, she already thought I was a good fit. But when I walked through the door for the interview, it solidified my place. The paperwork confirmed what my presence had already proven.

People talk about “getting” your dream job like it’s all about a perfectly filled-out résumé. But it’s deeper than that. It’s personality. It’s genuine interest. It’s showing your value long before anyone officially hires you. And it’s being presentable— not just in appearance, but in how you present yourself to this world: prepared, confident, and already moving like the role is yours.

Sometimes the dream comes true because you stepped into it before anyone handed it to you. 🫶🏾
