life has a way of punishing you for being a little too nice and forgiving.

one of the main reasons i’m so gentle with myself is cause i believe i’ve already experienced enough hardship in my life. i’ve already been mishandled and undervalued by others and myself at times. so i deserve more patience, forgiveness, and consideration at this point.

You MUST by all means develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you.

Normalize being very direct, very straight to the point and very assertive. A surprising amount of tension in adult life exist because people avoid saying what they actually mean.

Don't live the same year 50 times and call it a life.

Realizing nothing can fill my void other than doing everything I said I would do for myself

Addiction is proof that you are capable of intense devotion, you're just serving a false god.

I said it before, am saying it again, one day someone will look at Kenya and say, here lie the ruins of a country destroyed by greed.

“His family starts to resent him over time, he is no longer useful” Are you loved for who you are or for what you produce? Metamorphosis - Franz Kafka

Something I’ve learned in life - when you pursue excellence in a craft, it’s who you become through the process that’s the reward.

That “men need to open up more” sounds cute…until a man does and suddenly you lose respect for him.

🚨🚨MUST READ: You Can Live on Family Land for 40 Years and Still Be a Trespasser🙌🙌 This was not a strangers’ land grab. It was family land, inherited, subdivided through succession, then turned hostile. This started the way many Kenyan stories start. In Kigathi & 3 others v Kigathi (ELC E004 of 2024) [2025] KEELC 18393 (KLR), a son build a home on his father’s land. He raised a family there. Decades passed. Nobody complained. Then the father dies. The family goes to court, succession happens, and the land is formally subdivided. Title deeds are issued. Suddenly, what was “home” is now partly sitting on someone else’s land. Siblings ask him to move a few feet. He refuses. Emotions rise. Police are called. Court papers follow. What felt like a family issue becomes a legal one. The court did not sugar-coat it. Once succession is completed and title deeds are issued, the law does not care about how long you lived there, who showed you where to build, or how old the house is. A title deed gives exclusive ownership. From that moment, staying on land registered in someone else’s name, even by one foot, becomes trespass. Family history does not defeat registration. Sentiment does not defeat a title. The court also reminded us that justice is not revenge. Because the house existed long before subdivision, the owner was given time to relocate instead of being thrown out overnight. But the destination was clear: he had to leave. The lesson is brutal but necessary. Succession changes everything. If your home is on inherited land, confirm where boundaries fall before titles are issued. If you hold a title, the law will protect it, but courts will still insist on fairness. Ignore this reality, and one day you will learn it in court. @Thuranira_1 @georgediano @NelsonHavi @MikeSonko #newkcbapp #ForPeopleForBetter Jake Paul #RISERCONCERT #womenendorsewaiguru Vodka Singapore Asake Spiro

It’s a red flag if your partner becomes very mean to you when you guys are fighting. It is quite important to have a partner that can still be kind to you during arguments and fight. You should still feel the love even in chaos and during fights. A kind partner is key!

A lot of people are missing the point of this movie. The main character grew up to be a terrible person. She went through several experiences that made her lose her sense of whimsy. A friend of mine once very wisely put it as "it killed the part of me that still believed in fairies." Maturation has turned modern people into unloving and unlovable adults as those particular traumas are not dealt with. So when she ends up as a 13 year old inside that 30 year old's body, it's not supposed to be some inappropriate story like "act like a 13 year old and get the man." It's supposed to demonstrate 1) how we as adults take ourselves too seriously, 2) and how we lose ourselves as we age to cyncism and vices. She was a different person as a child than she was as an adult (a backstabbing, adulterous, ho-bag). Throughout the movie, the main character helps the other (childless, miserable) adults around her regain their sense of whimsy. What Ryan is saying in a *very* non-controversial way is... don't take yourself too seriously! Most of us knew this when we were having kids at a younger age (afterall, kids keep you young). But, in our increasingly childless and sterile society, our culture kills whimsy like a hammer beating a nail into the ground. So yes, embrace the side of you that is childlike. It's that innocent, whimsical side you had when you were young. It's attractive. Healthy people are attracted to it. It signals "this person would be a great parent." It signals, "this person would only add benefit to my life." Most of all, it signals, "I can see myself talking to this person for the rest of my life." Now go forth, embrace whimsy, and have babies!

The birth rate crisis is because people stopped acting like this. Bring back innocent humor and whimsy then watch how quickly we see a boom in marriages and baby making. Stop being so serious!!

I’ve come to the conclusion that there is no version of yourself you can present to the world that will protect you from criticism, so just do what you have to do.
