The people obsessed with controlling you are usually the ones most afraid of who you'd become without them.

I caught my husband putting pumpkin seeds in EVERYTHING for like two weeks. Me: “Why are there seeds in my salad again?” Him: “They're good for you.” Me: “You said that yesterday.” Him: “Because it's still true today.” Me: “Okay, Dr. Oz.” Then I caught him pouring them into his oatmeal. Me: “Be fr. What's actually going on?” Him: “My coworker said pumpkin seeds have zinc, and zinc matters for men's health.” Me: “So one conversation at work turned you into a squirrel?” Him: “Laugh all you want.” A few days later, we were at his annual checkup. The doctor asked about his diet. Him: “I've been eating pumpkin seeds for the zinc.” I immediately jumped in. Me: “PLEASE tell him he's doing too much.” The doctor laughed. ............

never turn cold because mfs treated you like trash give them a heavy comeback

The people obsessed with controlling you are usually the ones most afraid of who you'd become without them.

it wasn’t a bad day. i just didn’t feel like doing anything today. no crisis, no deep reason. just one of those days where even the things you normally enjoy feel like work. i still forced myself to show up here a little.

You don't need to lower yourself for people who never intended to rise to meet you.

STOP competing with people who look expensive, half of them can’t afford the life they’re selling.

The test of life is not to break you, but to make you stronger.

When people talk about fears, I always think of one: Dying with my best work and potential still inside me. Not failing. Not being rejected. Not taking longer than expected. I’m more afraid of never finding out what I could have built if I had given it everything. I want to leave nothing behind that I was capable of creating.

Some of the strongest people you know are quietly exhausted from holding themselves together. They’ve fought battles they never told anyone about. Wiped their own tears. Carried things quietly. And still showed up the next morning like everything was normal. There were days they wished someone would notice. Nobody did. So they learned to hold themselves together without an audience. They’re not strong because they never broke. They’re strong because every time life broke them, they quietly put themselves back together and somehow still found a reason to smile.🐺

The room can be silent and still tell you everything. Pay attention to what people don't say, not just what they do.

A skill becomes powerful when you can use it under pressure, not just when everything goes according to plan.

People who can’t match your energy will always try to lower it.

when things are going right, stay humble. tables turn all the time.

How to live quietly in a world obsessed with being seen🧵;

Words can be rehearsed. Energy can't. That's why it always gives people away eventually.
