Rihanna grew up in poverty in Barbados, often going to school with worn-out shoes and sometimes walking barefoot when they broke. One of her teachers, Miss Roberts, quietly bought her a new pair with her own money and never told anyone. Rihanna later said she cried wearing them. Years later, after becoming a global superstar and billionaire, she reportedly learned Miss Roberts was retired and struggling. She bought her a house and continues supporting her with monthly financial help. A simple act of kindness became a lifelong circle of gratitude and love.

0ctober 2024 Me: Hello Dad, how are you? Where are you? Dad: Hello my dear, I’m fine, I’m at home with your mom. how’re you? Me: Better, I wanted to talk to both of you. I’m not fine and I want to come home. Dad: Are you sick, like you are not feeling fine? Me: I’m very fine, I’m just tired of everything, marriage, life, everything. I just want to come home! Dad: How much is transport and how soon do you want to come? ( He actually wanted to send me to like old times) Mum: ( in the background)Haha! You want to pull her from husband house? Ask her what happened. Dad: (To mum) Should I allow her to die there? If she wants to come, let her come. We will hear from her and know how to deal with whatever the problems is. Besides she has never done this in the 10years that she has gone. Dad: (to me) Just be patient and don’t do anything you will regret. Ok. Everything will be fine. I eventually didn’t have to go home because he called hubby and calmed things down, but his response will stay with me forever. He was willing to have me back home, no questions asked. He wouldn’t let me die there. He only cared about my feelings and just saying I want to come home was enough. My love for him trippled after this.

Why do millennials age like they found a glitch in the system? They’ll say they’re pushing 40 and still look like they just graduated yesterday. What's the secret?

Millennials watched their parents lose everything in 2008. Then got handed $100K in student debt. Then got called entitled for wanting a living wage. Then survived a pandemic in our prime years. Then got priced out of every neighborhood we grew up in. And y’all really wonder why we’re not okay? We’ve been in survival mode for 20 years straight and nobody even noticed.

HE’S NOT DEAD!!!

@yzyupdates Kanye’s comeback is personal.

DO NOT POST IN REAL TIME - Tag the restaurant when you leave. Not while you're eating. - The photo goes up after the flight. Not from the seat. - Show the hotel once you've already left. Not while you're sleeping there. - Not everything has to be live. Not everything needs an audience. - The internet doesn't need to know where you are, who you're with, or what you're doing in real time. - Protect your energy and what's still taking shape. - Live first, post later. The moment is yours, only

Curiosity is stronger than love. A reporter asked him, “How so?” “I’m 94 years old, and I got married at 23. But at 46, my wife left me. She told me that she had become invisible now… that I was working too much and I wasn’t paying enough attention to her anymore. I told her that it wasn’t possible, that I loved her more than everything, and it was true but… that’s when she asked me: do you know when was the last time you came to see me play bridge? I didn’t know how to answer, and she said… ‘It’s normal. You never came.’ And she left. So I made a decision… In the months that followed, I signed up for bridge lessons and… I learned how to play, I practiced, I researched, and one day… I saw there was going to be a tournament near our home. So I signed up and… She was in the other team. I was seeing her for the first time in nearly a year… Of course, she beat me. But I saw a feeling in her eyes that I hadn’t seen for a long time. Gratitude. So at the end, I went to see her and I told her… ‘If you agree to give me a second chance, I’ll never miss any of your competitions again.’ I kept my word. She passed away 8 years ago but… She taught me the most precious of the lessons: “Love isn’t enough, you have to know how to show it.”

Being cheap and trying to act like he really gave a damn about sitting with his wifey😆

The cost of your flight went up because you searched for it twice. Your rideshare costs more because your phone battery is dying. This is surveillance pricing – corporations using your own data and behaviors against you. In the US Senate, I’ve got a plan to ban it.

Love this ❤️❤️
