If you asked me who are my favorite people

 If you asked me who are my favorite people, 

I would tell you the ones who are filled with empathy, whose tenderness exists in them by nature, who wouldn't make a tiny effort to show kindness because they glow with it.

The ones who know how everybody is struggling so they walk with grace in people hearts.  

They are here to lend a hand, whisper a tender advice, fight a dark thought, draw a smile. 

They are lightweighted, they dive smoothly into souls with their gentlness, they would regret a word or a gesture they did accidently if it has the tiniest possibility of hurting someone.

In their deepness, they wish everybody goodness and hope, they are eternal passengers who might not take a lot of attention but they can never be forgotten ..

Your journey belongs to you

 Those who left you stranded in the hardest moments have no right to your story of survival. The people who abandoned you in life’s roughest seas don’t deserve to know how you fought off the darkness, how you found strength in the deepest parts of yourself, or how you swam to safety.


Your journey belongs to you—and the ones who truly care will be there, not asking how you made it but celebrating that you did. Some stories are sacred, and only those who stood by you deserve to share in the triumph of your survival. 🌊

If you want to know who a man truly is....

 If you want to know who a man truly is, take a look at his social media activity‼️


Check who he follows. If it’s mostly women with seductive pictures and questionable character, consider what that says about his priorities.


If he often stops to look at revealing pictures or leaves likes on provocative posts, the app will keep showing him more of the same content.


Remember, you can’t build a strong relationship with a man who still gives attention to other women.


A man who can’t control himself online will never be fully committed to you.

Healthy love isn’t about being right all the time

 I don’t know who needs to hear this, but in a healthy relationship, your feelings should never be a debate. If something hurts you, it matters. Your partner’s role isn’t to argue about whether you should feel a certain way or to dismiss your emotions. Their role is to listen, to understand, and to do better in the future. 


Healthy love isn’t about being right all the time. It’s about being kind, compassionate, and learning how to care for each other in ways that make you both feel valued and respected. If your partner is only interested in defending their actions or minimizing your experience, it can make you feel small, unheard, and alone, even when you’re together. That’s not how it should be.


In a real, loving relationship, your partner will "want" to know what bothers you because they’ll care about your happiness. They’ll listen because they respect you, and they’ll work to grow alongside you. And yes, sometimes they’ll mess up, but the difference is—they’ll own it. They'll acknowledge when they've caused pain, and they'll make the effort not to repeat it. Because in love, making each other feel safe and understood is far more important than being “right” or winning an argument.


Remember, love is not a battlefield. It’s a space where both people should feel seen and supported, not where one has to constantly defend their emotions. A good partner doesn’t gaslight you into believing your feelings are invalid; they stand beside you, ready to face the discomfort and work together to build something stronger.


If you’re in a relationship where your partner listens, values your emotions, and tries to avoid hurting you in the future, hold on to that. That’s what a healthy relationship looks like. If not, maybe it’s time to reflect on whether you’re being honored in the way you deserve. You are worthy of love that doesn’t dismiss your heart. You deserve someone who cherishes your feelings, not someone who makes you question their validity. Keep that in mind, because at the end of the day, love should always feel like a safe place to land.🥀🌹


Stay away from people.....

 Stay away from people who think you're arguing every time you try to express yourself. You deserve to be heard without having to raise your voice, to be understood without feeling defensive. 


Surround yourself with those who listen as much as they speak, who seek to understand, not judge. 


Life is too short to spend it silencing yourself just to keep the peace. Real connections let you be your full, honest self—because true peace comes from being loved for who you truly are.

THE BEST MARRIAGE ADVICE EVER!

Choose to love each other even in those moments when you struggle to like each other. Love is a commitment, not a feeling.


Always answer the phone when your husband/wife is calling, and when possible, try to keep your phone off when you’re together with your spouse.


Make time together a priority. Budget for a consistent date night. Time is the “currency of relationships,” so consistently invest time in your marriage.


Surround yourself with friends who will strengthen your marriage and remove yourself from people who may tempt you to compromise your character.


Make laughter the soundtrack of your marriage. Share moments of joy, and even in the hard times, find reasons to laugh.


In every argument, remember that there won’t be a “winner” and a “loser.” You are partners in everything, so you’ll either win together or lose together. Work together to find a solution.


Remember that a strong marriage rarely has two strong people at the same time. It’s usually a husband and wife taking turns being strong for each other in the moments when the other feels weak.


Prioritize what happens in the bedroom. It takes more than sex to build a strong marriage, but it’s nearly impossible to build a strong marriage without it!


Remember that marriage isn’t 50-50; divorce is 50-50. Marriage has to be 100-100. It’s not splitting everything in half but both partners giving everything they’ve got!


Give your best to each other, not your leftovers after you’ve given your best to everyone else.


Learn from other people, but don’t feel the need to compare your life or your marriage to anyone else’s. Comparison puts your focus on the wrong person.


Don’t put your marriage on hold while you’re raising your kids, or else you’ll end up with an empty nest and an empty marriage.


Never keep secrets from each other. Secrecy is the enemy of intimacy.


Never lie to each other. Lies break trust, and trust is the foundation of a strong marriage.


When you’ve made a mistake, admit it and humbly seek forgiveness. You should be quick to say, “I was wrong. I’m sorry. Please forgive me.”


When your husband/wife breaks your trust, give them your forgiveness instantly, which will promote healing and create the opportunity for trust to be rebuilt. You should be quick to say, “I love you. I forgive you. Let’s move forward.”


Be patient with each other. Your spouse is always more important than your schedule.


Model the kind of marriage that will make your sons want to grow up to be good husbands and your daughters want to grow up to be good wives.


Never talk badly about your spouse to other people or vent about them online. Protect your spouse at all times and in all places.


Always wear your wedding ring. It will remind you that you’re always connected to your spouse and remind the rest of the world that you’re off limits!


Connect into a community of faith. A good church can make a world of difference in your marriage and family.


Pray together. Every marriage is stronger with God in the middle of it.


When you have to choose between saying nothing or saying something mean to your spouse, say nothing every time!


Never consider divorce as an option. Remember that a “perfect marriage” is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.

I did it, for me

 I remember the days when I gave everything I had to be a good wife. I had dreams of love that felt warm and safe, but as I tried to make everything work, I felt myself fading away. I settled for the quiet, the “I’m busy,” and the “maybe later.” I stayed strong through lonely nights and, over time, I started to think maybe this was just how it was meant to be. Maybe I should just be thankful for the few good moments and accept the emptiness in between.


But then one day, I looked at myself, tired and worn out, and realized I was losing who I was. I saw a woman who used to laugh freely, who had dreams and joy, now feeling small and quiet. So, slowly, I began to find myself again. Not by walking away from him, but by walking back to me. I took little steps each day, bringing back parts of who I used to be. I learned that one of the hardest things is to let go of the roles you’ve tried so hard to fit into and remember who you are.


But I did it.


I did it because I wanted more than just to get by. I wanted to feel real happiness, to laugh without holding back, to feel light instead of heavy. I did it because I wanted to believe that I deserved love and joy, not just bits and pieces. I wanted to feel whole, even with all my flaws and scars.


It took time and patience. But here I am, feeling a little stronger, a little more myself.


I did it, for me.
