If life taught me anything this year it’s this…

-Never ever settle

-You should never have to convince anyone to like you

-I would rather be respected by men than sexually desired by men

-the bottom feeders are the loudest and most visible. They’re like the first wave that approaches you. Hold out for the high quality men. They take longer to find but they’re way worth the wait.

-I’d rather be single than give my time,energy or body to low effort men

-not only do you deserve what you want, you deserve more

-let the cesspool men find cesspool women

-stick to your boundaries

-uphold your standards and never lower them for anyone.

-men actually respect women who know what they want, claim it and won’t settle for less

-Don’t be afraid to say no, ignore or reject men. You owe them nothing.

-men are not entitled to women’s bodies or emotional labor

-as much as you want things to go back to the way they were, they never will, you have to keep moving fwd and trust that you’ll find someone even better.

-you don’t miss him. You miss the way you felt when you were with him. Safe. Seen. Desired. Appreciated. You can feel that again with someone else.

-Playing small and ppl pleasing got me nowhere but used and controlled. Now I’m fucking LOUD and bold and taking up space. Unapologetically.

- I DON’T recycle. You get ONE chance with me.

-men will always lie. Don’t fall for the manipulation.

-don’t be fooled by good looks or flowery words. Actions speak the loudest.

-don’t shrink your needs to fit what men can offer. Ask for every fucking thing you want. If they cannot rise to meet your standards they’re not worth a single breath.

-there’s a huge difference between being pursued and being SEEN.

-be selfish, be picky, be over the top, own that shit.

-listen to your intuition. It always knows before you do. If it feels off, it is. And no amount of rationalization is gonna change that.

-learn to be ok with walking away. Always choose YOU.

-You are too fucking amazing to be giving away your precious energy. If they want it they have to earn it.

-if he wanted you, you wouldn’t have to wonder or try to decode his messages. You would know. Guys have no issues giving their attention and energy to someone they want.

-I’m never paying for a date. Period.

-if it’s not princess treatment, I don’t want it.

-if he’s not thinking about me all the time, texting regularly and wanting to make me happy, he’s not worth my time.

-pause before you react

-just because he's there doesn't mean he's the one. he's just there. proximity effect is real.

-if someone takes your energy, but doesn’t pour energy back, and doesn’t contribute to your life in a positive way, Cut. Them. Off.

-you don’t have to have the answers, uncertainty is where transformation happens and not knowing what’s next means it could be anything! And that’s way more exciting than being stuck somewhere and saying, is this it for the rest of my life?

-the universe did not take me this far to let me fail

-success can look like lots of different things and there's a million different ways to make money.

-someone’s own limitations do not diminish your worth. Their shit is their shit. I know I’m fucking awesome.

-being around new ppl in social  ways feels so rejuvenating.

- taking walks in nature is medicine for your soul

- Your voice is meant to be heard. Share it. 

-Female friendships are the most important relationships you’ll ever have.

-women are superior to men
