Please forgive yourself for all the versions you couldn't become. Forgive yourself for the wrong things you said. Forgive yourself for not knowing what you wish you knew by now. Forgive yourself for the darker and shadowed parts of you, that are still just as beautiful. We have to learn to be able integrate all of the parts of ourselves because they are each in their own ways magnetic and beautiful.
I cannot stress this enough- Build a routine. Build Habits. Wake up every day and get used to being productive, one day at a time. Do this for long enough and eventually you’ll be at your goal without even realising it.
How to be the most knowledgeable person they know?
So, we all can agree that smartness is so hot then how do someone becomes smart or knowledgeable? Let's make an attempt to make it more clear for you.
Read books. Read any book be it fiction, nonfiction, self-help literally anything. Books have longer lasting impact on you.
Study people- Do people watching, observe how people behave, how they react to things, what they are good at, how they are good at it, what they are bad at, how do they talk. People teach you harder lessons.
Keep yourself up-to-date with world events. Maybe read a newspaper daily or read newsletters. Try not to intake biased narratives in you.
Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Learning new things makes your brain sharper and help you grow. It also takes fear of new things outta your mind.
Be curious and open to learning. To learn you have to let go your ego of "I know this" or "this is not important". Learn about most trivial things just for fun.
Give time to your hobby. Whatever it is, try to go deep in it and have fun while doing it.
2024 is the year we stop “consuming” and go back to “reading/watching/listening to/playing” things
How to make people obsessed with you ;)
Tipps;
1. Never be too available. Even if you are not always busy just pretend that you are. Everybody wants things that they can’t have so be that desirable thing.
2. Tap into your feminine energy. Don’t chase, you attract. Become a magnetic person.Listen to podcasts on how to tap into this energy.
3. Become obsessed with yourself. How do you expect other people to obsess over you if you don’t love yourself. You can even pretend for this one and just fake it and tell yourself how amazing you are. Other people will to start to believe it as well.
4. Don’t tell everyone everything about you, let them find out your talents suddenly.
5. Never walk into a room on your phone. When you walk into a room you want your presence to be known ! if you walk into a room like you are that girl, people are going to think you are that girl.
I hope these tips help you become that bad bitch you are and make everyone obsessed with you. Just remember if you tell yourself you are that girl then you will become her and people will believe you are her.
lots of love girlies
Practice who you want to be. Show up as that person on a daily basis. Do they wake up early to prioritize a healthy breakfast and a workout before the day starts? Do they have discipline for hard tasks? Are they consistent in dedicating a certain amount of time to their dreams? The only difference between who you want to be and who you are right now is the action in between the two. Start acting like you already have what you want, there’s no choice but to achieve what you want when you are already living like it’s yours.
Understanding Art - a beginner’s guide
I came across one of the best articles, in my opinion, that briefly explains art over centuries. I couldn’t have done a better job or even half of the job that they’ve done, so I thought I’d link it below instead provide an excerpt.
Art as a timeline and a short summary:
Art historians typically consider the Romanesque art era to be the start of the art history timeline. Romanesque art developed during the rise of Christianity ca. 1000 AD. During this time, only a small percentage of the European population were literate. The ministers of the Christian church were typically part of this minority, and to spread the message of the bible, they needed an alternative method. Intended to teach the masses about the values and beliefs of the Christian Church, Romanesque paintings had to be simple and easy to read.
Just as in the Romanesque period, Christianity lay at the heart of the tensions of the Gothic era. As more freedom of thought emerged, and many pushed against conformity, the subjects of paintings became more diverse. The stronghold of the church began to dissipate. Gothic paintings portrayed scenes of real human life. The focus moved away from divine beings and mystical creatures as more focus was given to the intricacies of what it meant to be human.
The Renaissance can be seen as a cultural rebirth. A part of this cultural rebirth was the returned focus on the natural and realistic world in which humans lived. Renaissance artists painted human bodies and faces in three dimensions with a strong emphasis on realism.
The expression of feelings and human gestures, even items of clothing, is exaggerated deliberately in mannerist paintings. The small S-curve of the human body that characterizes the Renaissance style is transformed into an unnatural bending of the body. This is the first European style that attracted artists from across Europe to its birthplace in Italy.
Baroque paintings often showed scenes where Kings would be ascending into the heavens, mingling with the angels, and reaching ever closer to the divinity and power of God. Here, we really can see the progression of human self-importance, man is increasingly the central power within the compositions.
The paintings from the Rococo era are typical of the French aristocracy of the time. Paintings of this era were no longer strong and powerful, but light and playful.
Classism reverted to earlier, more serious styles of artistic expression. The art produced in this era was used internationally to instill feelings of patriotism in the people of each nation.
Romanticism is often seen as an emotionally charged reaction to the stern nature of Classicism. In contrast to the strict and realistic nature of the Classicism era, the paintings of the Romantic era were much more sentimental.
In contrast to the beautiful and deeply emotional content of Romantic paintings, Realist artists presented both the good and beautiful, the ugly and evil.
Historians often paint the Impressionist movement as the beginning of the modern age. A significant change that occurred during the Impressionist era was that painting began to take place “en-plein-air,” or outside. Galleries and international exhibitions became increasingly important.
Artists became preoccupied with the representation of feelings and thoughts through objects. The favorite themes of the Symbolism movement were death, sickness, sin, and passion.
The art produced in the Art Nouveau period includes a lot of symmetry and is characterized by playfulness and youthfulness. Art Nouveau has a lot of political content.
Expressionism originated in Germany and is intended to contrast Impressionism. Towards the beginning of the First World War, Expressionist paintings had a disturbing intensity about them. Intended to criticize power and the standing social order, Expressionism spread these political ideas through the medium of paint. Art was beginning to become political.
Cubism was a rejection of all the rules of traditional western painting and has had a strong influence on the styles of art that have followed it.
Futurism is less of an artistic style and more of an artistically inspired political movement. Founded by Tommaso Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto, which rejected social organization and Christian morality, the Futurist era was full of chaos, hostility, aggression, and anger. The militant nature of the Futurist movement has resulted in many people believing that it was too close to fascism.
Dadaism represents the beginnings of action art in which painting becomes more than just a portrait of reality, but rather an amalgamation of the social, cultural, and subjective parts of being human. The art movement encompassed several art forms including writing, poetry, dance, and performance art.
Surrealism is fundamentally psychoanalytical, and many Surrealist artists would paint directly from their dreams. Sometimes dealing with uncomfortable concepts, hidden desires, and taboos, Surrealism was a direct critique of the ingrained ideas and beliefs of the bourgeoise. As you can imagine, this style of art was not popular when it began, but it has greatly influenced the world of modern art.
Many of the themes within New Objective art were social critiques. The turbulence of the war left many people searching for some kind of order to hold onto, and this can be seen clearly in the art of New Objectivity. The images represented in New Objectivity were often cold, unemotional, and technical, with some favorite subjects being the radio and lightbulbs.
Abstract Expressionism is said to be the first art movement to originate outside of Europe. Emerging from North America, Abstract Expressionism focused on color-field painting and action paintings. Rather than using a canvas and a brush, buckets of paint would be poured on the ground, and artists used their fingers to create images.
For the artists of Pop-Art, everything in the world was art. From advertisements, tin cans, toothpaste, and toilets, everything is art. Painting and graphic art became influenced by photorealism and serial prints.
Starting in the 1980s, Neo-Expressionism emerged with large-format representational and life-affirming paintings. Berlin was a central point for this new movement, and the designs typically featured cities and big-city life.
As long as we humans have been able to use our hands, we have been creating art. From early cave paintings to the ceiling of the Sistine Cha
How To Maintain an Air Of Mystery In a Social Culture
Maintaining an air of mystery can have numerous benefits in various situations, such as dating or networking. By selectively revealing information about yourself, you increase intrigue and heighten interest, making you more attractive and interesting to others. The quietest person in the table, who contributes the least, tends to be the perceived as the most attractive. Additionally, projecting an image of confidence and independence can earn you respect from others. Being selective in communication can also help you direct conversations in your favor. Maintaining an air of mystery can help you establish personal boundaries and avoid unwanted attention, thereby protecting your privacy. Keep in mind that maintaining an air of mystery is about being selective with what you share and keeping people guessing. It's not about being dishonest or unapproachable.
Be selective with what you share: When interacting with others, choose carefully what information you share. Avoid revealing everything about yourself and your life. Leave some details up to the imagination of the other person.
Listen more than you speak: Ask questions and listen attentively to the responses. People often reveal more about themselves when they feel they are being listened to. This can also give you the opportunity to selectively share information and maintain an air of mystery.
Be comfortable with silence: Silence can be uncomfortable, but it can also be powerful. Don't feel the need to fill every moment with conversation. Take your time before responding to questions or statements, and use pauses to your advantage.
Keep an element of surprise: Surprise people with unexpected actions or thoughts. This can keep them guessing about what you will do or say next, adding to your mysteriousness.
Don't be too available: It's important to have a life outside of the interactions you have with others. Don't always be available to meet or talk, and make sure to have your own interests and activities.
How to maintain your mystery with social media:
Be selective with what you share: Only post certain things about yourself or your life. Share only the highlights of your day or week and keep the more personal or intimate details private.
Use photos creatively: Instead of sharing photos of yourself or your daily routine, post abstract or scenic images that spark curiosity and imagination. Use images to tell a story or convey a mood without revealing too much.
Keep your personal information private: Limit the amount of personal information you share, such as your address, phone number, or full name. This helps create a sense of distance between you and others and increases intrigue.
Be unpredictable: Post at irregular intervals, share unexpected things or create a sense of mystery around your posts. This can keep people interested in you and keep them guessing about what you will do or say next.
Use humor or irony: Humor or irony can be used to create a sense of distance and make people wonder about your true thoughts and feelings. This can make you more interesting and appealing to others.
How it benefits you in a career/business setting:
Increased professionalism: By maintaining an air of mystery, you can project an image of professionalism, which can earn you respect from colleagues and employers.
Improved negotiation skills: People who are confident and self-assured tend to be better negotiators. By projecting an image of confidence and independence, you can improve your negotiating skills and achieve better outcomes in business deals.
Better networking opportunities: People are naturally drawn to those who are interesting and intriguing. By maintaining an air of mystery, you can attract the attention of potential employers or business partners and create networking opportunities.
Heightened creativity: Keeping a certain level of mystery around your work can spark creativity and innovation. By not revealing everything, you may be more motivated to come up with new and unique solutions to problems.
Enhanced personal boundaries: Maintaining an air of mystery can help you establish personal boundaries and avoid unwanted attention in the workplace. This can help you maintain a sense of privacy and protect your personal life from being too exposed.
Type of men NOT to date
Dating in the 2020's is so rough! It feels like so many people are just looking for hookups and too many women are getting forced into "situationships" in the hopes that "more" will come out of it, but "more" never happens. Ladies, save yourselves the heartache and leave these type of low level men ALONE
A man who asks "what you bring to the table"
He is thinking transactionally. He wants to know beforehand what act of service he can expect from you in the future. Whatever comes out of your mouth will be his checklist in the relationship and he WILL bring it up when you "fail to meet expectations".
A man who disrupts your peace
A man who is prone to fits of rage and refuses to seek help will take you down with him. He will actively work to destroy your self worth and possessions. Any man coming into your life MUST be giving you peace that is BETTER than the peace you find within yourself.
A man with low quality friends
There's a very high chance that if a man is in his mid to late 20s and is still friends with his highschool buddies they are actively holding him back. There needs to be far more substance in a male friendship than bonding over a band one time in a 10th grade science class. Having old time friends is amazing, but everyone in the friend group should be maturing at the same pace and having adult conversations and not just sharing their girlfriends nudes with the homies in the groupchat
A man who listens to Bro Podcasters
Self explanatory. There should be NO reason that a man sees value in anything a violent misogynist has to say. It is NOT NORMAL for a man to take lifestyle advice from broken men who are NOT living the lifestyle they're advocating for (monogamous long term relationship with the intention of marriage and providing for their wife and kids). Unless he is compiling information to loudly denounce those views and see those podcasters as an enemy of men, you have no business dating someone like that
A man who idolizes 50/50 relationships
Expecting your partner to go 50/50 with everything and anything is insecure and immature. In reality you can't ALWAYS split the bills. Sometimes things come up. Like card only payments, cash only payments, misplaced wallet, dead phone, payment deadline, accidents etc etc. If he expects every instance involving money to be split into two equal bills he WILL be resentful towards you if you fail to deliver. He should also be more than happy to spoil you when he can and pay in full
A man who struggles building relationships with women
You aren't going to be any different just because he's fucking you. And this isn't about a struggle that results from trauma (abusive mom). This is about ANY woman in his life. If he can't connect with his sisters and can't "really" explain "why", or if he's never had a female friend, that's a red flag. It's most likely that he can't build relationships with women who he isn't sexually attracted to, making him more likely to misconstrued any interaction with a pretty woman as grounds to cheat
An unkempt man
He doesn't need to be the world's best dresser, but he MUST care about his appearance. You two will be seen together constantly and in social settings others will view you as a single unit. You are doing a disservice to yourself by being with a man who has a hands-off attitude with the way he presents himself and always choices to go out with wrinkled stained clothes, dirty hair, a smelly outfit, and a wardrobe full of holes and filth
A man who moves too fast
Why is this man trying to get you into bed yet he doesn't even know your last name? Casual flings are totally fine and super appropriate for any adult to be a part of. But if you're looking to seriously date you HAVE to be picky. Even if your connection is magnetic off the bat restraint should be shown until the commitment is there. If you tell him you only want to have sex with a committed man and he gets mad, pressures you, or asks you to be official on the spot and then have sex afterwards, he just wants to orgasm, nothing more
A man who's all talk and no action
If a man talks about how close he feels to you, but doesn't try to commit, he's keeping you away from love. If a man romantically messages you everyday, but doesn't take you on a date, he's a pen pal. If he's always talking about going for a big promotion, but doesn't put in the work the position requires, he's just a job holder. Actions speak louder than words and if he wanted to, he would
A man who struggles with handling you
Far too many men couple up with talented, sexy, smart, extrovert women, then try to change them when they become official because they can't keep up with her. If she was a sexy dresser BEFORE you started dating, you should expect the same WHILE you're dating. If she was always having deeply intellectual conversations BEFORE you started dating, you should expect the same WHILE you're dating. If she had a large group of friends that she loved hanging out with BEFORE you started dating, you should expect the same WHILE you're dating. If he can't keep up with you then he shouldn't take up space in your circle
A man who is incompetent with chores
Need I say more? Chores aren't rocket science. If he can't cook a meal from start to finish you'll be forced to be his personal chef. If he can't do a load of laundry you'll be forced to be his laundromat. If he doesn't know how to sweep, mop, or vacuum you'll be forced to be his maid. Never choose to be a servant when well rounded men exist in the dating pool
A man who doesn't boast about you
He should be proud to have you as his partner. Everyone in his life should know that you two are dating. He should want to walk behind you and open doors for you so that everyone can see you before they see him. He should always want to hold your hand and feel disgusted when other people hit on him. If he says he "lives a private life" and doesn't want to post you on his social media or be seen kissing you in public it's because he doesn't want his wife and other girlfriend to catch him cheating
Never let anyone convince you that it's impossible to find a man of quality because "your standards are too high". You're the prize and for your sake you should never expect the bare minimum for love
The dude bros found this post about toxic traits to avoid in terrible, broken men, and decided it was the perfect time to bring up "low body counts" and "washed up women". They found themselves mentioned on this post and felt inclined to larp as superman by encouraging you all not to listen to me, a woman, in favor of them because as a reader they are offended by a girlblogger bad mouthing foul men. So now they're pointing out how lacking this information about relationship red flags is by talking about women getting fucked over and Over and OVER again.
The imaginary woman living in their heads is a sex addict and to them this made up person is evil and must be mentioned every chance they can get.
The podcaster mention was the last straw for them. It was their pearl Harbor. Their 9/11 even
let go of these habits in march and adopt these new ones
still having low self-esteem > learning ways to love and respect yourself every day without judging yourself, all from a place of caring and love
being a perfectionist > focusing on improving yourself every day
comparing yourself to others > being aware of who you are and your goals, others' lives are not yours
judging others > focus on yourself and understand that people are doing what you think is wrong because of their experiences, beliefs or because they don't know how to do it differently
feel attacked or offended by external situations > you decide how to feel about that which is external to you, stop giving power to those things or people and keep focusing on you, don't spend energy on getting upset about someone's bad attitude or any injustice that has happened in the world
gossiping with friends > asking about their day, how they are doing or goals
judge your body > learn to love it and be aware of all that your body does for you, if you want to change it do sports and eat healthily
have disorganized days > organize your day one night before or the morning before with all the tasks you have to do that day
watch toxic or negative news or content > listen to motivational podcasts, read books that make you feel motivated, positive and help you to improve yourself
wasting time on social media > 1 hour a day focused disconnected from the internet, for example, spending time in nature
having negative thoughts > asking yourself why you are feeling this way right now and what you can do to improve that now, what would be the solution
scroll on social media > limit the time spent on these applications and only spend one hour a day on them, for entertainment and of course viewing content that is positive for you
think about the things you don't want, complain about the things you don't like > think about what you DO WANT
eating junk food > learn about nutrition, be aware of what we feed our bodies and start eating healthier foods
worry about what others will think > be aware that this is their perception and not yours, who knows you better than anyone else is yourself
living in the past > forgiving what happened to free yourself from it in order to create your desired life in the present
how to start living in your “it girl” era | 2023 🍸 pt. 1
this is just a fun, random list. feel free to start implementing these ideas into your life to make you feel more like you’re in your “it girl” era 🤍 again: this is meant to be fun. no negativity please.
i. when at lounges, casinos, cocktail bars, nice restaurants, etc.
if you’re of age, try ordering more “upscale” beverages at the bar like classic cocktails (the manhattan, negroni, martini, etc.), wine, or champagne.
it’s also more fun to go during the downtime, late night hours on the weeknight (monday-thursday… even though thursday might start getting busy). unless you want to be in a louder environment where everyone and their mom is on top of each other, ordering over your shoulder because the bar is packed, then go at more quieter times. dressing up nicely, going to a nice establishment, and ordering a nice drink when it’s dimly lit, upscale, and there’s only a few people in there is such a vibe.
if you can, try ordering an uber luxe/premium to the restaurant or valet your car. ***make sure to tip***
ii. when at home
lounge in nice quality pj’s. silk/satin shorts and a sleepy shirt work very well. if it’s cold, opt for longer sleeves and pant legs.
drink water or any beverage you have in a glass, not the bottle or the can it came in.
of course, keep your place smelling good and clean. burn a high quality candle (i find that the expensive candles are definitely worth the money). for a home fragrance, lean less towards scents like vanilla, and more towards scents that are more perfume-like.
if you’re in the process of adding decor to your place, a lot of luxe interior designers like to add those random “art” pieces like sculptures, bowls, paintings, and other random decor around. but they like to keep the furniture minimal. the ambience is almost always natural sunlight during the day, and dark, dim, moody lighting during the evening.
iii. your social media
remain mysterious— posting several times a day, everyday is a bit much. unless you’re an influencer, limit posting to a few times a week, if that. “oh she posted again” doesn’t necessarily scream that you have a life.
keep your photos of similar quality with one another. using the same filter or preset keeps everything uniform if social media matters to you.
refrain from posting when you’re not at your best. refrain from posting you venting about something. be mindful of what you post. does it represent you as a person?
iv. your attitude (to others and yourself)
don’t be a rude person. don’t be bitter. don’t be resentful. don’t be negative. don’t gossip about others. don’t participate in the weird trend of self-deprecating “humor”. you should know you’re that girl, and you should move like her too. you should act in a way that you won’t accept nothing but the best, but still remain humble enough to know that it might take a bit of work on your part. raise your standards with men, raise your standards with friends, raise your standards with yourself. don’t compare your journey or yourself to others, even if they’re on a similar journey. be kind, be loving, and keep it moving on a positive note at all times
again, this was just a FUN post. if you wanna implement some of these ideas, perfect. if not, that’s fine too. love you lots xoxo

Canning food
Pottery
Wood carving
