5 things nobody told me about ✨braces✨
I got my braces put on Tuesday morning! 1. Your mouth is EXTREMELY wet sometimes. I catch myself drooling or with my mouth open randomly. They did not tell me this 😀 2. Over the counter medicine is a LIFE SAVER!!! I use extra strength tylenol ( 500mg per pill ) and it works wonders!!!

No one told me this about my 20’s….
Nobody told me this is how my 20s would feel like. Lonely, isolating and confusing. I’m only 22 but I’m constantly torn between growing up and not even knowing what I’m doing. Sometimes I feel like I’m falling behind. I became a mother young and I wouldn’t trade it for the world, but with mothe

Nobody talks about this part
Nobody talks enough about what survival mode does to your mind. You get so used to being strong that you forget you’re allowed to want more than just getting by. As a mom, I realized I didn’t just want to survive. I wanted peace. I wanted options. I wanted a future that didn’t depend on

Nobody Told Me THIS About Marriage 😳
1. Submission isn’t silence. Letting your husband lead doesn’t mean losing your voice. God didn’t call us to be doormats—He called us to be co-laborers. (See Proverbs 31… she was a whole boss.) 2. You won’t always like him. Love is a choice. There will be days you’ll feel more like roommates t

A text message exchange where the sender expresses feeling disrespected by the receiver returning to an ex, claiming the receiver knew about their feelings. The receiver states they thought they were just friends and were unaware of the sender's romantic interest.
The receiver explains their obliviousness to romantic interest and frustration over personal details being used against them. The sender questions if the receiver is still hurt despite an apology.
The receiver denies being hurt by a past comment but criticizes the sender for repeatedly bringing it up. The sender insists the receiver should stop discussing the situation if not hurt, leading to the receiver's sarcastic reply.
There ain’t no way 😭
You're seriously going to want to read it all, especially the end. This actually happened 🤣 never met someone so unhinged in my life. I met this person, and we were friends, or so I thought. It was just platonic for me, but clearly not for him. Turns out some men really cannot handle rejecti

Unhealthy things I am unlearning as a mom 🌸
Being a good mom is my top priority. 1. Punishing emotions. I will not get my daughter in trouble for yelling at me, crying, or anything else. If you were crying and somebody told you you have no reason to be, or that they’ll give you a reason to cry, how would you feel? Worse? 2. Shaming.

Never trust anyone
"Never trust anyone" is a harsh mantra, but one that can serve as a shield in a world where vulnerability can be exploited. It's not about living in isolation, but about being cautious and discerning about who you let into your inner circle. Trust must be earned, and even then, it's
