I’m approaching the 1-yr anniversary of my grandma’s death, and I can feel a shift internally. Grief counseling has helped A LOT, but the random tears are back, and it’s getting increasingly harder to be motivated. I downloaded the Finch app to try to get ahead of it, but man…

It’s got stuff like “get out of bed,” “drink some water,” etc., and on the surface, that seems like an easy thing to do (it usually is), and yet it’s taking more and more energy to maintain. Work takes less convincing because I’ve got kids depending on me.

This level of grief is a new experience for me, and it is testing every piece of perseverance and mental strength I have.

Russell Crowe, Gladiator filminin başarılı olabilmesi için seks sahnelerine karşı çıktığını anlattı: 🔹 “İlk filmde sürekli karşı çıktım.” 🔹 “Bu, karısının ve çocuğunun ölümünün intikamını alan bir adamın hikayesiydi.” 🔹 “Bu yolculukta durup biriyle seks yaptığı bir an olamazdı.” 🔹 “Bunun hiçbir anlamı yoktu.” 🔹 “Bu, karakterin yolculuğunu yok ederdi.” 🔹 “Stüdyo benimle mücadele etti, bana mektuplar bile gönderdiler.” 🔹 “Ama ben fikrimin arkasında durdum.” 🔹 “Neyse ki Ridley Scott da o dönem benimle aynı fikirdeydi.” 🔹 “Filmin ahlaki çekirdeği buydu.” 🔹 “İkinci filmde bu ahlaki merkezi yok etmeleri çok ilginç.” 🔹 “İlk filmin neden başarılı olduğunu anlamadılar.” 🔹 “Başarısının sebebi, bir ahlaki çekirdeği olmasıydı.”

Absolutely. Occasionally, I get a FB friend request from an old student, and it brings back experiences I had with them as their teacher. LOL
Do teachers remember their students 10, 20 years later?

A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear: “It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

Which means if you wait until marriage to do any of these, you are marrying a man you don’t know…🫩
You don't really know a man until: -You travel with him. -Money is involved. -You see him when he's angry. -You live with him. -You see how he acts when he's drunk or high. -You tell him "no". -You see how he deals with loss or grief. - He doesn't get to sleep with you whenever he wants. -He's broke or has limited funds. -You see how he treats his family, friends, and complete strangers.

95. Move the bottom left stick of the 6 to the top of the 4 to make a 9.
Tell me the number greater than 46 by moving just one stick. 0.0001% will win.

You can always count on me to never talk to you ever again. That’s my area of expertise.

Even as a young girl, I knew that propaganda was extremely flawed because there were far too many old, devout, but still unmarried women in the church. They couldn’t even show proof with God’s most loyal followers. God made us for greater, and nobody can tell me different.
Women in the church need to stop idolising marriage. I promise God’s plans for you are greater than just getting a husband.

Feminism doesn’t say you can’t spoil a man. You all never know what feminism is but stay talking about it. Please learn some things. I’m begging.
Forget all this feminisim stuff we do online. If money enters my hand, I’m definitely spoiling my babe.🙂‍↔️

The sheer number of people who are comfortable being 100% wrong about a well-researched and documented concept is nauseating. Why are you so willing to be vocal *and* wrong? Have you no pride? Do you not value knowledge?

She won. Now she doesn’t have to deal with an inconsiderate manchild who chooses to live in a dirty house. Shout out to that queen!
I wanted to test if my girlfriend of two years, to see if she was a "wife material" before proposing. So I invited her to my house, but before she arrived, I intentionally left dirty plates in the sink, dirty clothes on the floor, and hid the food items. I then pretended to be asleep when she knocked. My girl walked in, saw the house looking like a refuse dump, and didn't say a word. She didn't clean anything. She just took my laptop, plugged her phone, use it to charge her phone then ordered a large pizza, ate the whole thing, left the empty box on the floor while I was "sleeping," and left! I've blocked her on all social media platforms before she reached the estate gate. She failed the test!

You should ask your children how they’re experiencing your parenting and be willing to hear things you don’t want to hear.
What's your unpopular opinion about parenting?

Before my grandma died, she spent a couple of years being worried bc I’d decided to move states w/my kids post-divorce. It was hard for her to fathom me being okay. She came to see me & saw that I was prospering. I think that’s when she felt ok to leave here.
I force myself to be courageous just because the women of my family always lived in fear. I often go alone because they always needed someone to go with them My mom won’t get in an uber alone

I asked for houseshoes for Christmas last year so I could stop walking around barefoot.
Do you walk barefoot in your own home?

I bet a bunch of white people were also late (and probably worse), and she was the only one who got fired, and that’s why she won. That’s the issue. White folks get treated differently when they do the same things or worse than others. 🫠
A woman was fired after showing up late to work 47 times over 10 months, then was awarded $11.25 million after suing the company for racism 😳💰

People talk about 50/50. ​But motherhood was never 50/50. ​Pregnancy wasn't 50/50. Birth wasn't 50/50. Breastfeeding wasn't 50/50. The mental load wasn't 50/50. Postpartum recovery wasn't 50/50. The sleepless nights weren't 50/50. The physical changes weren't 50/50. ​By the time the bill arrived, the woman already paid.

Just a friendly reminder that people give you what they are, not what you deserve. What you deserve, you give to yourself.
