PSA: Closure Has Many Faces
Once upon a time I was a person who believed closure consist of a final conversation, accountability, apologies. Leaving me in a karmic loop regarding relationships that I perceived as open ended, due to the inaccurate definition I held. What I learned is closure comes in different forms, the disrespect was the finale. Expecting maturity from people who don’t possess the necessary skills, is a waste of time and how the relationship deteriorated to begin with. Oftentimes there’s nothing left to discuss, remove them and move on. Via: SelfLoveHannah

The Recipe For Mastering Anything
Two things to remember:
1. Practice makes perfect.
2. Progress is only made when you try doing something, repeatedly.
I never thought I’d be able to get my chest and chin on the floor simultaneously during puppy pose. Then 2 weeks ago it happened out of the clear blue fuck. At that point in the game I was simply following the instructor, detached from the outcome of nailing the pose. I’m incredibly proud of myself, after years of putting in work to no avail. Shout out to backbend sequences, I’d still have tense shoulders and a stiff neck if not for you. Focusing on opening up my back, which I ignored prior, changed my life.
This is what makes yoga an enriching experience. It humbles you by showing the limitations of your body, but asks you to keep showing up and doing the same movements repeatedly, rewarding you by surpassing those restrictions in due time. Don’t skip the move. Do it, fail, do it again. That’s the only way to expand your range of motion, eventually perfecting the pose. Baby steps, failure, patience, resilience, the recipe for mastering anything. Via: HelloBlackChild
PSA: From Love, Not For Love
Do you know the difference? The former derives from inner confidence, self-respect and self-love. It’s authentic. The latter seeks external validation from others. Aiming to fill a void that can only be vanquished when they value themselves. Which are you? Via: WeCareOurselves_
Nail Art: Cue Balls, Crosses & Dice
A basic faux feminist bitch tried to pigeon-hole women by shading nail art. I dragged her. She’s was a nobody then, she’s still a nobody. You can’t say my body, my choice, tell me about a world you have no involvement with, and proceed to abase women for pampering themselves. It’s hypocritical and nobody cares. Do our hands suddenly no longer belong to us? Is this not a form of self-expression? Girl bye. Love these game inspired acrylics. Are you into them? Via: NailssByFatima
Breadcrumbing Is Abuse
You’re worth more than being an afterthought. Doesn’t matter if it’s a friendship, romantic partnership or family, don’t allow anyone to serve you scraps in a relationship. Who the fuck are they to deny you the whole loaf? Toss that person in the trash. They’re moldy bread, unhealthy, it’ll make you sick. Via: JustGirlProject
The Color Of Your Mood Today
Self-care is health care. It’s important to check in with your emotional state, pinpoint the origins of feeling, and deal with it accordingly. Feel how you feel, adjust if you must. Which color are you today? Why? Artist: SelfLoveRainbow
Signs You Need A Break
You can’t use a phone effectively on low battery, or at all if it’s not charged, people are the same way. Pushing yourself on empty doesn’t work. Don’t burn out, recharge, take a beat. Via: BreakingTaboo
A Lesson On Prioritizing
Being a constant work in progress is a sign you’re evolving. Recently I had an epiphany that’s led to a take no prisoners attitude from here on out. It started with Gammeeok. I’d filed my lawsuit against them back I’m October 2024, but removed it at the advice of my lawyers.
Protecting people of color, I wanted to give them a chance to redeem themselves, after they tried to play me (which backfired), I realized wtf am I doing? Here I am sacrificing myself again for people who aren’t worthy, family included. If I weren’t so selfless, valuing their lives over money, I would’ve been good already. Lesson learned. I’m enabling people who are due to the Devil, that’s finished. Unlike these depraved idiots, I know how dire the consequences of their actions are. At least I have peace of mind, I was merciful and they were undeserving. I come first. Period. I will not show compassion for people who’ve showed no penitence, that’s where I’ve gone wrong. Fates sealed. Enjoy only that time. Are you prioritizing yourself last? Why? Via: IntuitivelyBlessed
Choose A Not To Do Item
Just a reminder not to feel guilty for taking care of yourself. Most people live on autopilot and can forget to recharge by having me time, maintaining a positive inner voice and finding a proper work life balance, amongst other things. You’re not here to burnout. Self-care is health care. Start small, pick at least one thing on The Not To Do list. Artist: Spoonie_Village
