more sensuality, more sexuality, more pleasure, more presence. embracing desire, and deepening intimacy with yourself, the world and the beyond
I know I’m successful because I grew up around women who knew a little about hustling. They knew about being hungry, they knew about wanting more, and they knew how to not stop until they had it. I didn’t grow up around women who were ashamed to desire material things, I didn’t grow up around women who eschewed their own beauty, and I didn’t grow up around women who didn’t know how to work hard.
I don’t view things as inconveniences because if I actually wanted them, inconvenience wouldn’t stop me. I’m willing to trade my free time to put in work to get the things I want because I don’t want to sit around complaining about how things aren’t happening for me. I don’t care if I have to wake up earlier, go to bed later, or miss out to get what I want. I’d much rather go through a series of minor inconveniences and wonder why the things I wanted never happened for me, and now that I know what I’m doing, I can mostly integrate the things I need to do into my life without missing out.
I’m also successful because I don’t let myself wait. I take care of things on the spot, I’m robbed with my responses, I don’t let opportunities pass me by without trying again for them, I follow up, and I don’t care how I look in pursuit of the things I want to achieve. I’m not scared of being seen chasing after things, and I don’t think that any woman should be afraid to look too eager. If you know what you want, you should have an idea of how to get it and an idea of how to succeed. It does you no good to sit around wishing for results when you could be putting in the work to get them.
No one can have you unless they are incredibly fortunate
''what if you regret it'' then you will expirience regret - a normal and unavoidable part of the human expirience.
Gentle reminder: If you dont know what to pursue in life right now, pursue yourself.
Pursue becoming the most healthiest, happiest, most healed, most perfect, most confident version of yourself. The right path will reveal itself.
Truth is you will never go back to your old self, life is about redefining and relearning to live with all versions of yourself
It’s always the ones less than you in looks, status, appearance and power who are hungry for your downfall. Always watch them carefully — drop them at the slightest act of disrespect. It will only get worse.
things that will ruin your life?
Being extremely overweight or extremely underweight.
Having too many kids in too short a time period.
Untreated mental illness, even if it seems minor.
Financial illiteracy, even if you’re working a good job.
A lack of education and no desire to educate yourself.
Victimizing yourself when there’s really no need to.
An unhealthy reliance on substances of any sort.
Religious psychosis; not everything is a sign from God.
Isolation; at some point it stops being an active choice.
Repression, be it due to a past trauma or otherwise.
A need to always be right and an inability to admit when you're wrong and bow out of an argument.
Having no goals, no desires, and/or no future plans.
Not training your dog and allowing it to run wild.
Filling your brain with garbage/info you don’t need.
Remaining in contact with/tolerating abusive people.
Not going outside, seeking out sunlight, and hydrating.
Listening to, or depending on, social media influencers.
Consuming too much of anything designed to make you afraid or watching excessive porn or 24/7 news.
Resorting to physical violence against yourself/others.
Not trying to care for your body as best you’re able to.
You still have time. Time to change your wardrobe. Time to get divorced and married again. Time to change majors. Time to learn a trade from scratch. Time to pay off debts. Time to travel. Time to love and be loved. You still have your whole life ahead. Whether you're 19 or 66. You still have so much time. But you have to take it.
hate your life? make a whole new one. sitting in my apartment reflecting how everything i’m doing would sound insane to me 6 months ago. I’m obsessed with reinventing myself
The best part of doing hard things is the confidence it gives you. It’s a drug tbh like I can conquer anything. And my body and mind are way stronger than I can even imagine.
literally do it even if youre stupid <3
Having no sense of urgency isn’t normal; there are things you should be handling as soon as they come to you, and there are things you need to be actively aware of and taking care of. By having no sense of urgency, believing a higher power will handle something, ignoring the obvious, or leaving things until the last minute, you make your life significantly more difficult than it would be otherwise. I also think that you have to be able to rely on yourself, and by consistently holding off from doing things, you make yourself unreliable in your own mind. One might think that they fail at everything they do because they’re not skilled enough, but many a time, it’s because they leave things for way too late. Get in the habit of doing things promptly, get in the habit of answering emails and doing work projects/assignments swiftly, get in the habit of asking questions if you're confused, and get in the habit of being able to depend on yourself to get things done and never look back. If you can’t rely on yourself and handle business, you’re missing out on opportunities.

Put this in my moodboard.
you don’t need to reinvent yourself this summer; you simply need to return to the things that make you feel most like you
i don't know who needs to hear this, but guilt, self-hatred and shame are not sustainable sources of growth and healing. you can't hate yourself into feeling better, or being better. you can't repeatedly punish yourself for your flawed humanity and expect wholesome results.
