Take more photosss!! You are young, you are alive and healthy. You have free will. Photos are proof that you existed in that moment, learn to keep the memories forever.

I think books raised me more than people did 🥹

it really is THAT deep. who you date, who you call a friend, what you watch, what you eat, where you work, what you speak over yourself... all of it matters. energy is real. what you allow in your space, in your mind, and in your body.

There is something so beautiful about having long term friends that have witnessed multiple versions of you and loved you unconditionally through each version 🧡

Women in different countries are celebrating the decline in birth rate while Nigerian women are busy having kids like their lives depend on it.

"I'm not a feminist," says the girl who benefits from the rights that feminism has given; At 20, she is still single and not being forced into marriage with a man the age of her grandfather. She has her own bank account, the right to vote, the freedom to wear pants, the ability to speak in public, and access to education. Burst my brain 😒

Be consumed by your ambition. There is no deeper betrayal than abandoning your own becoming. Be haunted by your potential until you have no choice but to see it through.

I just saw a TikTok where a woman said “do you actually want it or do you want other people to see that you have it?” and WHEW! I feel like more people need to ask themselves this, because what they THINK they want, isnʼt what they actually want. What they really desire is acceptance.

Not to be overdramatic or anything but the decline in popularity of handwritten letters is one of the most disappointing decisions we've made as a modern society.

Maybe dostoevsky was right when he said that pain is the root of consciousness. there’s something about suffering that forces you to see things clearly, even the parts you wish you could unsee.

Reading as a hobby is a privilege. a luxury even. to have the time, access, and finances to engage in such a wonderful practice and make it a hobby, is in fact, a big privilege—and a lot of people don’t realize that.

No matter your age, you'll always wish you started younger. But today is the youngest you'll ever be.

Nothing will make you more anxious than avoiding the work you know you need to do. Ironically, doing the work is almost always less stressful than avoiding it. But we convince ourselves it’s the opposite. And that lie costs us progress.

One of the most underrated skills you can learn is the ability to ignore your mood and stick with the plan.

Be bored more often. Go for long walks. Meditate. Journal your thoughts. Read new books. Spend time alone in nature without your phone. You'll start to understand yourself a lot much better. Your brain comes up with its best ideas when it is left to wander. In those quiet moments, you’ll find clarity and inspiration you just can’t get when you’re always distracted.

We’ve normalized overconsumption ( and it’s killing your creativity) We can’t even eat without watching YouTube. We can’t go for a walk without listening to music. We can’t go to the toilet without without scrolling reels. There’s no breathing room for your mind, instead it’s a never ending stream of dopamine. How do you expect to create something great when all you ever do is consume? Give yourself a little space.💐

No woman in my lineage has had as much rights, freedom or opportunity than I do right now. I’m not going to waste this experience being insecure or worrying about what people will say about me

reading is inhaling. writing is exhaling.

Be so confident in who you are that you're willing to eat alone, sleep alone, do the inner healing work, and flourish without approval. And whenever you find yourself doubting how far you can go, remind yourself how far you've come. You're always stronger than you think you are.
