ADULTHOOD IS A S#!%SHOW
Word of advice, leave that mess in the past. Move forward and do not, I repeat DO NOT return. Life is too short to deal with toxicity. What broke you wanted you broken. Stop seeing potential and giving benefits of the doubt at your expense. Don’t make excuses for friends, family, co-workers, partners. Commit to healing, look back for the lesson then apply it.

Resolutions for the upcoming year are important, because it forces you to reflect. Who you are, what you’ve done, who you want to be. Growth isn’t possible without introspection. Being a better version of yourself means progress over perfection. No matter how big or small the change is. Write 3 things you want to work on in 2026 and 3 you want to release. Via: SelfCareExpress
Lesson learned. When people show you who they are, believe them. Doesn’t matter if it’s friends, family, partners, co-workers etc…
You’re doing yourself a disservice seeing potential and not reality. The change isn’t coming, let them go and make room for something better (especially if they have a personality disorder and aren’t recieving the treatment they need). Who are you disappointing yourself for? Via: MirrorsReflectYou
Reflecting on all that’s happened I’m proud of my inner strength. Here I was downtrodden, practically penniless and being coerced into malevolence. All I had was a blog. My words, intuition and ideas with the protection of God changed everything. Nothing external propelled me forward, just the things I had within.
From scraps I created abundance and survived Satan.
Looking at all my contributions thus far in shaping the world, I’m almost incredulous that I’ve been the Magician tarot this entire time. Manifesting my desires with what little I was given, because I’m resourceful, tenacious. Living proof that a mustard seed can move a mountain. Your turn. Via: Nylon Magazine
Speaking of self-reflection, take a moment to think about the nouns you attach to. Good or bad, here are the factors that create and shape our bonds. Forming healthy attachments is the goal, if you find yourself unable to do so, go through each item to find the root. That introspective why. Whatever you don’t change continues and passes down.

Everyone can stand to be a little more mindful of their behavior. If you aren’t trying to be a better version of yourself each day, then what are you even doing here? Growth comes from introspection, finding the cracks and mending them. The only person you should be competing with is yourself, becoming an upgraded version from the day before, the week before, the year before…you catch the vibe. Trust you’ll be happier for it. Tip: meditation is a great tool for mindfulness, it’s literally about all of this: detaching, grounding your mind, listening to your soul. Which one of these do you need to focus on?

“Everything is impermanent. Life is constantly changing, so you need to periodically check in to see if your old habits and beliefs are still serving you.
A lack of self awareness is poison. Reflection and review is the antidote.” Via: Louisa Creative
Everyone knows I’m obsessed with Passion Planners, obsessed. I’ve been ordering them for six years now. At the end of each month, they ask eight questions for self-reflection. I thought I’d share, because introspection is essential to growth.
