fuck. de. kurwa. ja pierdolę............. double heartbreak today </3 and i am feeling everything… iga lost to aryna :( loïs lost to coco :( and i? i am not okay like when iga fought back from 1–4 down despite losing the tiebreak and took that second set 6–4 i was literally in tears like tears of joy. she was in survival mode… it felt like now or never and when she got that second set i think part of her believed again maybe even started to entertain the thought that she could go all the way (we all did) but then that one simple crucial miss in the first game of the third… maybe it rattled her like whatever happened only she knows… like i was smiling and whispering “jazda iga… you got this… allez baby queen of clay jazda” and the next thing i knew tears were just dripping… sports, man. nothing makes my eyes sweat like this then came the third set… and just like that a brutal bagel like i was barely recovering from the stress and then wtfucking kurwa happened?? 0–6 ja pierdolę…
and loïs? same heartbreak but am still sooo proud of her… i was dreaming of an iga vs loïs final… two badass queens i love and if that had happened my heart would've broken either way but at least from joy cause i love loïs but my heart will always be with iga… not today, i guess… today was real heartbreak and patience… but i love iga the same like she’s not the baby queen of clay for nothing. she’ll rise again… she always does and loïs? that girl’s future is bright af!
rafa said it best “tennis is just a game. sometimes we feel a little bit more but i think we understand at the end of the day that it's really only a game…” and i hope both iga and loïs are proud of what they’ve accomplished cause i am and i know they’ll both be back for more. and more. and more. badass. tennis. wins… that said i might need at least 24 hours tho to recover + some ice cream, cinnamon roll and nice long walk eh… p.s. iga, watching you play is always a blessing <3 i hope you feel the same every time you step on the court like we see how badass special and powerful it is when you’re out there… i hope you feel that too, deep inside yourself…
#iga swiatek#lois boisson#roland garros 2025#i just wanna give them both a big hug#thank youuuu#merci loïs#dzięki iga#you'll come back stronger#the next one's waiting for you#setbacks are setups for badass comebacks#every loss holds space for a greater win#baby queen of clay#tennis#i love these kids so fucking much

5 Steps to Glow Up Physically, Mentally, and Emotionally



Hey besties! Let’s talk about the ultimate glow-up — not just for your looks, but for your mind and soul, too. I'm diving into all the juicy details to help you shine like the coquette goddess you are.
Step 1: Skincare That Slays
Glow starts from within, but let’s be real — great skin is a vibe.
Double cleanse for that squeaky-clean feeling (yes, your future self will thank you).
SPF, SPF, SPF! Do it for your skin and your future aesthetic.
Add in a hydrating serum because dewy is the mood of the century.
Step 2: Move Like the Main Character
Physical activity is chef’s kiss for your glow-up:
Pilates? Yoga? A hot girl walk? Pick your poison — just make it fun.
Remember, consistency > perfection. Even 10 minutes counts, bestie!
Step 3: Think Like a Queen
Confidence starts in the mind:
Positive affirmations are your BFF. Say, “I am THAT girl” every morning.
Switch up your mindset — see setbacks as setups for comebacks.
Read a self-help book that vibes with your goals (“Atomic Habits,” anyone?).
Step 4: Journal for Your Soul
Journaling is so Tumblr era but make it aesthetic:
Write about what you’re grateful for (your iced coffee counts).
Brain dump those feelings — it’s giving emotional clarity.
Step 5: Boundaries = Self-Love
Set those boundaries, queen:
Say no to energy vampires (politely, of course).
Make space for what truly makes you happy — Netflix and face masks, anyone?

6 Powerful mindsets for a smoother life .ᐟ


.ᐟ Never feel inferior
The first and perhaps most fundamental mindset shift is to never feel inferior to anyone. You have no reason to think you're beneath another person, regardless of their achievements, status, or circumstances. Remember that you are always, and only yourself a unique individual with your own path, strengths, and purpose. Your worth isn't determined by comparison to others, and the moment you stop measuring yourself against external standards is the moment you begin to truly live authentically.
.ᐟ Don't care what others think
The second powerful mindset is to release yourself from the burden of others' opinions. This applies to everyone in your life – friends, family, strangers, colleagues, and even those closest to you. Their opinions are ultimately about them and their perspective, not about your true worth or potential. When you stop seeking external validation and start living according to your own values and what genuinely makes you happy, you free yourself to make decisions that align with your authentic self rather than what you think others want to see.
.ᐟ Expand your limited mindset
Much of our inner conflict, anxiety, and pain stems from the limitations we place on our own thinking. When you consciously work to expand your mindset, challenging assumptions about what's possible and questioning the limiting beliefs that hold you back, you open yourself to entirely new worlds of possibility. This mental expansion requires actively seeking new perspectives, embracing unfamiliar experiences, and remaining curious about life's potential rather than accepting narrow definitions of what you can achieve or become.
.ᐟ Believe in your ability to grow
The fourth mindset centers on having unshakeable faith in your capacity for growth and transformation. Only by truly believing in yourself in your ability to learn, adapt, reshape, and evolve can endless possibilities begin to emerge in your life. This isn't about blind optimism, but rather a deep understanding that you are not fixed in your current state. Every challenge becomes an opportunity for development, and every setback becomes a setup for a comeback when you maintain this growth-oriented perspective.
.ᐟ Cherish your time and energy
The fifth mindset focuses on protecting your most precious resources: time and mental energy. Stop dwelling on what's already happened, as obsessing over unchangeable events only brings more pain and depletes your capacity to create positive change in the present. Never allow five minutes of sadness to ruin the twenty-three hours and fifty-five minutes of potential joy that remain in your day. Remember that almost everything in life is replaceable u can earn more money, find another job, make new friends, and fall in love again.
.ᐟ Embrace fresh starts
The final and perhaps most liberating mindset is recognizing that you were born with nothing, so there's truly nothing to fear about starting over. A genuinely strong person isn't someone who conquers everything in their path, but rather someone who can endure whatever life presents with grace and resilience. Practice the powerful ritual of forgiving everything before you sleep each night, and when you wake, treat each day as a completely new beginning. This daily reset allows you to approach life with fresh energy and unlimited potential, unburdened by yesterday's disappointments or mistakes !

how to make q3 your comeback era ⋆.ೃ࿔*:・🌟
okay so q1 and q2 didn't go as planned? join the club. but here's the thing - q3 hits different. we're talking july 1st through september 30th , summer energy, fresh motivation, and you still have 6 months to save your entire year ⋆
time to stop making the same planning mistakes and actually set goals that stick for the next 3 months.
✦ pick 3 focus areas max.
stop trying to glow up your entire life in one quarter. you tried that in january and look how that went. pick 3 areas that would actually change everything if you nailed them by september 30th. career, health, relationships, skills, finances. choose 3 and ignore the rest for now.
the temptation is real to add "just one more goal" but resist. three focused areas will get you further than ten scattered attempts.
✦ make them specific and measurable.
"get healthy" isn't a goal, it's a wish. "work out 4x per week for 12 weeks" is a goal you can track. "make money online" is vague. "earn $500 from side hustle by september 30th" is clear and has a deadline.
if you can't measure it, you can't achieve it. if you can't put a number or date on it, it's not a real goal.
✦ plan for your actual life, not your ideal life.
you're not going to suddenly become a morning person who meal preps and journals daily just because it's july. plan goals that fit your real schedule, energy levels, and attention span.
be brutally honest about what you can actually maintain for 90 straight days. it's better to nail 3 realistic goals than fail at 10 ambitious ones.
✦ work backwards from september 30th.
where do you want to be when q3 ends? now break that down into monthly milestones. july goal, august goal, september goal. then break those down into weekly actions. then daily habits.
big goals feel overwhelming. daily actions feel doable.
✦ batch similar goals together.
if you want to learn new skills, dedicate q3 to skill development. if you want to build habits, focus on consistency. don't try to learn guitar, start a business, get fit, and read more all at once.
your brain can only handle so much change at once. pick a theme for your quarter and stick to it.
✦ track your progress weekly.
every sunday, check in with your goals. what worked this week? what didn't? what needs to change? adjust your approach but don't abandon your goals.
progress isn't always linear but it should be consistent.
✦ plan for setbacks.
you're going to have bad days, busy weeks, and moments where you want to quit. plan for them. what's your backup plan when motivation disappears? how will you get back on track after a bad week?
resilience is more important than perfection.
✦ celebrate small wins.
don't wait until september 30th to feel proud of yourself. celebrate finishing week 1, completing month 1, hitting small milestones along the way.
momentum builds on success, even tiny ones.
remember: 90 days is enough time to build real habits but not enough time to completely transform your life.
pick goals that are challenging but achievable. pick things that matter to you, not what looks impressive to others.
q3 goal ideas by category:
⤷ career/money goals :
learn one new skill that could make you money by september
start a side hustle and make your first $100
apply to 10 jobs/opportunities per week for 12 weeks
build a professional portfolio with 5 projects
save $1000 by cutting unnecessary expenses
get one professional certification or complete one course
network with 3 new people in your industry per month
⤷ health/fitness goals:
work out consistently 4x per week for 90 days
drink 8 glasses of water daily and track it
go to bed by 10pm on weekdays for better recovery
walk 8k steps 5 days per week throughout the quarter
meal prep every sunday for 12 weeks straight
lose 10 to 15 pounds or gain 5 pounds of muscle by september 30th
try 3 new healthy recipes each month
⤷ creative/personal development:
complete one online course from start to finish
practice a creative skill 30 minutes daily for 90 days
finish 3 passion projects you've been putting off
learn basics of something you've always wanted to try
read 6 books cover to cover (2 per month)
start a creative side project that could make money
document your progress with photos or videos
⤷ relationships/social goals:
reconnect with 5 old friends you've lost touch with
set boundaries with toxic people and stick to them
make 2 new genuine connections each month
plan 1 meaningful social activity per week
have one deep conversation per week with someone you care about
practice saying no without over explaining for 90 days
⤷ financial literacy/life skills:
learn basics of investing and open an investment account
create and stick to a budget for 3 months straight
build an emergency fund of $500 to $1000
learn to cook 10 new meals from scratch
organize your living space completely
develop one practical skill (sewing, car maintenance, etc.)
your q3 starts july 1st. by september 30th, you could be completely different person if you commit to consistent action for the next 90 days.
stop planning your dream life and start living it. your q3 comeback starts now. also, i'll be starting a whole blog series about financial literacy this quarter so we can all learn together and stop being clueless about money!

horacioabaroa: Catch me on 9-1-1 tonight at 8PM on ABC!! 🧑🏽🚒 Exactly 1 year ago, I tore almost every ligament in my knee wrestling in jello. While recovering from surgery, I seriously considered leaving acting and jello fights behind to pursue the Fire academy. Then I booked SWAT that reignited my passion for this career & industry. The universe still wanted me as a firefighter… just on screen. It’s not the academy, but it’s a full circle moment I’ll never take for granted. Grateful for the journey, the setbacks, and the comeback🔥 (and jello)

In all my years of being a GGDD fan, I don't think any year has ever been better than this last one.
In the past I have watched them struggle and face incredibly difficult situations, be forced to spend almost all of their time apart, and deal with scandals and setbacks.
2024 was a year I could never have dreamed of for both of them. Watching them both thrive so well, take charge of their careers and their lives to a degree never before seen, and to have so much time for their personal lives - it's all I've ever wanted for them.
And you can see how well they are thriving, how much happier they are, how much healthier they are, and how much of themselves is stamped on every single thing they do.
I frequently see fans spinning negative fantasies about them, and it makes me sad. As if there isn't enough pain in the world, why generate more in your own mind?
A lot of turtles tend to overly romanticize 2018 and 2019 because they were the years that The Untamed was filmed, promoted and aired, and that's where a lot of our favorite GGDD content was born. I think that's rather self-centered and shortsighted. If we take five seconds to remove our rose-colored glasses, surely we can see how difficult those years were for them.
Yes, they got to work together for a few months, they got to spend some fun time together promoting The Untamed and even got to be somewhat open about their affection for each other in front of a crowd, but outside of that summer dream, they were both in pretty precarious positions in their careers, and both of them faced a lot of really gruesome anti attacks. Neither of them had very much control over their careers or their choices, and their management situations were atrocious.
We don't even have to talk about 2020. That was an incredibly difficult year. GG was the focus of one of the worst cyberbullying and nearly career-ending scandals that's been seen in that industry. He was being threatened, the people connected to him and the brands that he dealt with were being threatened.
Any time he tried to do anything in his career, whether it was an appearance or an endorsement, antis would come out in droves and protest until it was shut down. There were active organized hate campaigns whose entire purpose was to destroy his life and his career. People were trying to infect him with COVID, and there were other threats upon his life. Multiple times online hate campaigns tried to spread the rumor that he had died.
He couldn't go anywhere without people following him and chanting hateful slogans at him and trying to infiltrate the hotels he was staying at. It was terrifying.
DD was constantly overworked, exhausted, always on the move with barely any time to come up for air.
They had to spend most of their time apart, including some of the quarantine time, when DD was isolated so that he could begin filming LOF, right when the worst of the scandal broke. GG's grandfather died, and he faced so many personal burdens.
They did get some fun times together of course, and there were some huge successes for both of them, including GG's spectacular comeback at the end of the year with his sea of red for Tencent All Star Night. Even turtles worked to help ensure he had his red sea.
And GG and DD got to clown around and be silly as well, and they made a real effort to show us that they were getting through fine, they would be okay and that they were still the same people, still able to be happy. We got so much candy that year, and so many great LRLG messages as well.
But that was just a sign of their character and strength. Make no mistake about it, that was a difficult year.
The intervening years between then and now have been a bit of a mixed bag. There were a lot of COVID frustrations (scheduling issues, Kafkaesque hoops to jump through, inability to travel outside the country, risk of ending up in a prolonged lockdown, inevitable health stress), they had to spend a lot of time apart and there were more and more crackdowns on the entertainment industry, on the queer community and on fandom culture, which made things feel positively dismal and oppressive - at times even scary.
However, it's undeniable that things have been gradually improving for them. They've both been building more and more autonomy and control in their careers, and building more respect from audiences and within the industry. They've both been prioritizing their personal lives more and more. And yes - they've BOTH been looking happier, more relaxed, more balanced.
I've talked about that a fair bit over the past couple of years. Most recently in this post.
Looking at 2024, they have had so much more free time in their lives, have been able to spend so much more time together in the same city, have spent time with each other wherever they were filming, and even got to travel and spend some fun downtime outside of China.
They are in such powerful positions compared to even a couple years ago. They have made great connections and worked on some amazing projects.
GG has been working with some of the top directors on some of the most anticipated projects in C-ent. He recorded an entire solo album and several music videos, and did all of that on his own time and on his own dime, and released it to critical acclaim and massive success with audiences.
He has been the talk of the globe in fashion circles and entertainment circles, and has been the global face behind some of the most successful and exciting campaigns for some of the most prestigious brands in the world.
He got to travel a lot outside of China, and build on some of the great connections he's made over the years. He got to spend time with his parents traveling Europe!
He's given us so much incredible content with his vlogs and photo sets. It's just mind-boggling how much he's given us over the past couple of years.
DD took initiative to propose and participate in a documentary series where he got to explore interesting locations and engage in some of the most extreme outdoor activities. What could possibly be more exciting for someone like him?
He got to work with a team of conservationists who are fighting to save pangolins, and filmed a documentary there as well. Knowing him, that has to be one of the most rewarding things he's ever done in his life.
Both documentaries were highly acclaimed and award-winning.
Speaking of awards, he debuted as a film star and has been nominated for all of the top awards in China both for his film work and his drama work!
He has signed a new contract with his management company that will certainly have put him in a very powerful position in the company as their top breadwinner. He has been exceptionally successful with endorsements, holding more endorsements than anyone else in C-ent.
He got to play tennis on the top of The Great Wall with one of the top players in the world (regardless of how much I despise Djokovic).
He got to be an Olympic torch bearer! He is the ambassador for multiple high profile organizations and projects.
He earned his auto racing license, joined a racing team and finished in first place in his first ever auto race!
Make no mistake about it, they are both now solidly calling the shots in their own lives and careers, they are living their best lives, and they are both happier than I have ever seen them in all of these years.
And much more healthy! Just take one look at them and you can see how much healthier they both are. They've been playing a lot of sports and doing a lot of active outdoor activities together, and it shows in how much happier and healthier they are.
Frankly anyone who can't see that has their head stuffed firmly in a moist dark place.
I urge everyone to center GG and DD in all of our fandom explorations, theories and interpretations. The reality is that the more that they get to focus on their own lives and careers and personal freedoms, the less candy and CPN we're likely to see. We should be happy for them rather than try to spin sad tales about it.
#bjyx#yizhan#fandom reflections#bxg perspectives#rumors of their misery are greatly exaggerated#i wanted to get this out a lot earlier but my day got sidetracked#king gg#king dd

“You can take my check. You can't take my name.”
Black!oc Sierra Riley x Joe Burrow
WARNING: VIOLENCE, Some fluff mentioned of injury and surgery
Ok I missed these two so much plus I'm kinda bored right now so I thought why not it's All-Star season anyway. And I'm kinda missing football right now. But enough talk enjoy!.
“Whew. About time. Alright, Miss MVP and girlfriend of the year. What’s next?”
Mmm… let’s think.
I won the World Series.
Joe took the Bengals to the Super Bowl—got *robbed*, don’t even bring that up.
Then I blew out my knee. ACL surgery. Nine months of rehab. Meanwhile, Joe tore up his wrist. More rehab. More surgeries.
It’s been a mess. A painful, frustrating, limping, sleepless mess.
But you know what they say:
“Your setback is your setup for the comeback.”
Now here we are. 2025. Joe came back like a machine. No fear, no rust, just dominance.
And me? I returned to the Braves and picked up right where I left off. Shortstop. Leadoff. Captain energy. Stronger than before.
Through it all—every injury, every headline, every “is she done?” take���Joe was there. Holding ice packs, holding my hand, holding me down.
And I held him right back.
So when the All-Star Game came calling?
I didn’t hesitate.
Atlanta, Georgia. My city. My fans. My stadium.
I laced up my cleats, pulled on the jersey, and stepped into the moment like I owned it.
And in the VIP box?
My quarterback. My rock. My ride or die—Joe freaking Burrow—cheering for me with that crooked little smirk that says, “Yeah, I know she’s her.”
The game’s been lit. NL leads 5–4. I’ve made two highlight-reel plays and legged out a triple. Energy’s up. The crowd is LOUD.
And then?
They call his name.
Nico Harris.
Outfielder. Mets. Media darling.
My least favorite person in baseball.
Let’s just say… the history’s ugly.
When I got injured last year, rumor was Nico said something slick in the locker room:
“Good for her. Now we can really play.”
Yup. That was the quote.
If it wasn’t for my PR team holding me back, I would’ve nuked my career with a Tweet and slept great doing it. But I kept it professional. I kept it classy.
Austin Riley didn’t.
Next series against the Mets, he and Nico got into it mid-game. Brawl. Suspensions. Fines.
And now?
Now it’s me and him.
First time on the same field since everything went down.
He steps into the box.
I shift to short, glove ready, heart pounding. I don’t blink.
First pitch—he takes it. Second—he swings and connects.
CRACK.
Deep shot to the gap in right-center.
The outfielder scrambles. Nico turns on the jets. I grab the cutoff, pivot, and fire it back in. He slides safe into second.
He stands, brushing dirt off his pants, then glances at me.
Smirk on his face. That cocky, smug, “I'm untouchable” smirk.
“Nice throw,” he says. “Didn’t think your knee still worked like that.”
My whole chest tightens.
Oh.
We’re doing that?
Next inning, I’m back on the field. Nico’s on second again after a lucky bloop single and a stolen base. It’s tense. Electric. You can feel something coming.
I walk up to the bag. Subtle. Calm.
He leans in just enough to make sure no one hears him.
“You really held on to that little quote, huh?”
I don’t respond.
“I mean, it’s not my fault your body gave out. You play tough, but you break easy.”
I turn slowly. Glare locked in.
“Say that again.”
Nico shrugs. “You’re not built for this. You’re built for cameras. You’re a storyline, Sierra. That’s it.”
“And you’re built like a bad decision in cleats.”
He laughs. “Cute. Did Joe write that one for you?”
That’s it.
I drop my glove.
The crowd hasn’t caught on yet. But the dugouts are standing. The umps are watching close.
I step up.
“You think because I didn’t clap back on social media, I forgot? Nah. I waited. I trained. I got healthy. I got stronger. And I waited for this.”
He leans in. “Do something, Riley. I dare you.”
“Hope you like soft food—”
BOOM.
Right hook.
My fist connects with his jaw and spins him halfway around.
Crowd: *SCREAMING*.
Benches: *CLEARING*.
The moment? Viral in real time.
Nico staggers. Comes at me. Swings—misses.
Jazz Chisholm Jr. tackles him from behind. Austin’s in the middle, pushing people back. Umpires are shouting. Security running.
Joe stands up in the VIP box, mouth tight, shoulders squared.
Security moves to stop him, but he’s not trying to jump in. He’s watching.
He knows.
This is my fight.
I’m pulled away. Nico’s yelling something, but I don’t hear it over the noise.
As I’m escorted off the field, the crowd’s chanting my name.
“SI-ER-RA! SI-ER-RA!”
Boos. Cheers. Cameras flashing.
And me?
I’m smiling.
The tunnel is cool. Dim. Quiet. For the first time in hours, I hear my own breathing.
I’m sitting on a bench, taping the edge of my wrist, still buzzing with adrenaline. One glove off. One punch in the books.
Then—footsteps.
Joe.
Gray hoodie, black joggers, jaw locked. Eyes on me. He walks like a man who just watched his girl become a legend.
He sits down next to me without saying a word.
I break the silence. “So, how bad was it?”
He chuckles. “You knocked him into next week. Pretty sure he forgot his own batting average.”
I let out a slow laugh.
“I’m getting fined for sure.”
“You’re also getting a statue outside the stadium.”
We sit in silence for a second. The kind of silence where nothing has to be explained.
Joe finally speaks.
“They’ll talk. The league. The media. They’ll say you overreacted.”
‘Let them.”
“They’ll try to spin it.”
“I’ll spin it harder.”
“You wanna know what I saw?” he says, looking me in the eye.
“I saw a woman who had every right to clap back a year ago, but waited until the moment meant something. You didn’t lose control, Sierra. You took it.”
I nod. “I don’t regret it.”
“Good. Because tomorrow, you’re gonna wake up the most talked-about athlete on Earth.”
My phone buzzes.
#1 Trending:
“Sierra Riley ends Nico Harris like a bad tweet.”
“The Punch Heard Around Baseball”
“All-Star Fists, All-Star Fury.”
Interviews pending. Suspension possible. But public opinion?
Split right down the middle.
Which means I did something real.
Joe leans over, kisses the side of my head. “You still hungry?”
I smirk. “Always.”
He stands and offers me his hand.
“You coming with me?”
“Always.”

Few things I wanted to share

Right now, there are a lot of things happening and people on our side are still actively fighting. These pulls indicate to me that there is a lot of attention towards legalities that will strengthen the future of Riize as a whole. It could be contract negotiations and stipulations regarding Seunghan and protections to safeguard the group. Whatever is going on in specific, it is significant- perhaps slower to see results since we are out of the loop- but very important to see through.
Oracle:


Some Side Notes:
I have been very busy. But I came today to offer my hand and to see how you all are doing right now. To me it's really quiet and eerie. But I'm calm. Im still boycotting. I'm still sure of everything.
I want you all to remember that nothing is over until you allow it to be over. Not all of us can advocate loudly every single day. Not all of us can be online every day. It isn't about that though. It's about the collective energy of love we have and the will we share. Thoughts and words have a lot of power. I put my thoughts, words, and manifestations out there every day no matter what I am doing. Saying that Seunghan will return, because he belongs in Riize. These are just fundamental truths. He is in Riize. Period.
So, with that being said, unfortunately, i am unable to do daily reads at this moment in time due to personal things. Instead, I promise to come when I can until i get over this hurdle. So I hope you all will also understand that whatever amount of time we have to wait for matters of Seunghan's return- it is simply a setback for a comeback.
Love yall!

Yesterday I went to interview with someone starting a podcasting studio, because I want to be an editor and dip my toes into the professional podcasting scene, and there was this wall of sticky notes that had such beautiful words of encouragement, I had to snap it and share this positivity with the world!

For those who can barely read them:
A B C — Always Be Crushing it!
You get to the TOP by Hard Work and Faith!!!
First we make choices, then our choices make us
We don't get what we deserve, we only get what we tolerate
Don't live vicariously... LIVE!
It's not what you get out of the books, it's what they get out of you
Every mile is a gift!
Si lo que tienes no te suma, rèstalo de tu vida (Google Translate: If what you have doesn't add up to you, subtract it from your life)
You matter!
Make someone smile every day
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn
Get lost in what you love
You are a true miracle
Mindset is everything
Know your worth
Good things... take time.
One day at a time
Be the reason someone believes in the good in people
Kindness always comes back!
Don't trust fear!
If anyone can do it, you can do it!
You've Got this!
It will all make perfect sense one day
I ♡ U
Faith driven determination leads to a fruitful life
Things will work out!
Follow your heart
If at first you don't succeed, try again
Be good. Do good.
Keep going! I ♡ U
Search for soul in everything!
Cé la vie (Google Translate: This is life.)
When g-d closes a door he opens a window
When you give joy to others you get joy in return
Small steps daily will get you FAR!
SMILE
It's always darkest BEFORE the Dawn!
Some will. Some won't. So WHAT!
You're inspiring some1 RIGHT NOW!
1 Person's CRAZY is your REALITY
You CAN
Trust in the LORD!
You decide what your Limitations are!
Breathe. Just breathe.
The hustler must die for the CEO to be born
A setback is a setup for a comeback!
Not going to complain about having a lot on my plate if my goal is to EAT!
Follow your soul ♡
Faith, vision, and undeniable determination
God has Great plans for your life!
Do not mistake movement for progress!
You're as strong as you say you are!
You attract who you are, not what you want
Tu no eres bebecita, tu eres bebesota! (Google Translate: You are not a baby, you are a big baby!)

In the midst of life's chaos, remember that every challenge you face is an opportunity for growth. It's easy to feel overwhelmed by the hurdles in our path, but those obstacles are there to test our strength, determination, and resilience. When you feel like giving up, remind yourself that you are capable of more than you know. Each setback is a setup for a greater comeback. Embrace the journey, with all its ups and downs, and trust that you are becoming the person you were meant to be.
Success isn't defined by how quickly you achieve your goals, but by how persistent you are in the pursuit of them. Progress may seem slow at times, but every small step forward is still progress. Keep moving, keep pushing, and keep believing in yourself. The road may be long and winding, but every twist and turn is leading you to where you need to be. Stay focused, stay strong, and never lose sight of your dreams. You have the power within you to create the life you desire, one day at a time, one step at a time.
