To be loved is to be truly seen To be loved is to be deeply known To be loved is to be gently considered

The Bible is so clear on how important it is to never look back. Not at an old position, an old ex, an old friendship, or even old ways that God has brought you out of. There are many people in the Bible but in clear words, God tells us to "remember Lot's wife"; who turned into... a pillar of salt! Stuck in time. I pray that when you're tempted to "go back," the spirit of God reminds you that you have too much to look forward to

It’s seriously stupid how great life can be if you marry well

Dating my boyfriend has introduced so much pleasure in my life just from the mundanity of his day. He makes me love music more cause he has EXCELLENT taste. I love food more cause he cooks every day for me all these different foods. I love moving my body cause he’s super active. I want to read more cause he’s so well read and I love talking to him and hearing his opinions on history and current events and the legal theory. He makes a trip to the grocery store fun.

BE BORING 2026: - Go to the gym - Take your vitamins - Meal prep every Sunday - Eat your home-cooked meals - Walk 8,000–10,000 steps a day - Pack your gym bag the night before - Say no to things that drain your energy

Marriage (or any positive romantic relationship) is sustained by grace, not emotional thrill. It is this grace that births patience and positive communication. You can have everything but if you don't have grace, you do not belong to the institution. I would define grace here as the "internalised belief that your partner - the person you vetted and chose to be with - would not maliciously subject you to harm". This is not to say that they won't do you wrong. But that this wrong will never be intentionally malicious in its manifestation. I should be able to trust that you mean me no harm, even in the errors that you make. Only then can we focus on the problem, and not you vs me. Unfortunately, the problem many make is in defining their grace through the partners. That it is the responsibility of the partner to make them gracious. Or trusting. But truth is, this disposition should exist long before the partner comes along. This thing of he or she brings it out of me is a lazy attempt at delegation of duty. You should be those things before the partner arrives. The partner should complement what already exists, and has been trained for years. Otherwise, you will be postponing the inevitable. You are either gracious or not, and it will manifest overtime in how you treat and engage your partner. The initial rays of romance tends to conceal a lot, but who you inherently are will inform the direction of the relationship. It will always prevail. So before you were treating your man right, how were you treating the gate man? Before you were kind to your wife, how were you addressing your mother?

After 9 years in the gym, here's every fitness tip I could come up with: 1. Stop drinking alcohol.

Hobbies keep you from relying on people for external validation. It also fills those gaps in when you’re more susceptible to doing pointless things with others out of boredom. That’s why they’re so important

No one tells you how many versions of your marriage you’ll live through. The newlywed version. The exhausted new-parent version. The “ships passing in the night” version. The “we’re both stressed but trying” version. The one person is thriving and the other is struggling version. And the version where you finally find each other again. Priss and I have learned that long-term relationships aren’t straight steady lines. They’re seasons. The trick we’ve learned isn’t avoiding the hard ones. It’s finding ways, big and small, to prioritize each other.

The best way to support someone who is hyper independent is to take initiative. Their love language is being considered, to be seen, and to not have to ask. Listen to them, pay attention to their wants/needs and take the lead.

Experts now consider strength training the single most potent habit for aging gracefully and extending lifespan. Far from being just for athletes or bodybuilders, lifting weights—or any form of resistance exercise, including body-weight moves—has emerged as one of the most powerful tools for healthy aging. It does far more than add muscle: it fortifies bones, revs up metabolism, and sharply lowers the odds of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic conditions. As we get older, strength training switches on bone-forming cells, fights the natural loss of muscle mass known as sarcopenia, and keeps metabolism humming efficiently. For women, it’s especially valuable, helping offset the rapid bone-density decline triggered by menopause. The benefits extend well beyond the physical. Regular resistance work improves balance and coordination, dramatically cutting the risk of falls—the top cause of injury among older adults. It also protects the brain by enhancing insulin sensitivity, dialing down inflammation, and reducing dementia risk. The good news? You don’t need heavy barbells or punishing workouts. Even moderate, consistent strength training delivers profound gains in both quality of life and longevity. In the words of one leading researcher, “Building and maintaining muscle may be the single best investment you can make in your future health and independence.”

Speechless Heaven Can Wait You Rock My World

There is a softness in me that only settles when you are near.

I wish every single person out there had the opportunity to experience a greater level of health, wellbeing and vitality. Because if they did, they wouldn’t want to return to a subpar state of health. The problem, however, is that many people don’t realise that the lack of energy they may feel day-to-day isn’t actually normal — because they haven’t had a higher level of health to compare it to.

You must learn to enjoy life without needing an audience to see that you are enjoying life.

the older i get the more i realize how simple a good life really is. wake up early. lift 3x a week. walk 30 minutes a day. eat real food. drink water. sleep well. read. obsess over something that matters. spend time with loved ones. avoid drama. be grateful. you’ll already be healthier and happier than 95% of people.

Word for newly weds. If you just marry, come here.

Been reading the quotes from this tweet since and almost all of them remind me of this...
