I’m in Toronto right now watching my dawg hoop. One guy got bumped going to the basket & instantly started looking for a whistle. The ref stared at him cold and said: “This is MEN’S league. Go to the basket stronger.” I just smiled. That’s my type of ref. 💪😤

Never let this world convince you that your value only exists in what you can provide for others. Your existence alone has value. 
And that will always be enough. 🌹

You do not have to exhaust yourself proving your worth just to receive basic care, respect, affection, or understanding. Real love does not keep score every time you fall short. 
Real love sees you as human. Not perfect.

Your value is not tied to how much you sacrifice yourself just to be accepted. You are enough. Even on the days you cannot prove it. You deserve genuine love, peace, affection, and people who see you beyond what you can do for them. You are enough simply because you exist.

You’re determined. That give me energy 🌹

I’ve learnt a lot from my elders and friends who’ve been through what I’m going through, and they all say the same thing. Surround yourself with a team that see the vision, passionately care about the vision, and actively/positively push the vision forward. Plain and Simple!

The fake smiles be the worse. They be good at it too — must been doing this for a while.

words hold power. choose them wisely people.

in due time. 🌹

If you can overthink the WORST, then you can overthink the BEST things also. It’s a choice.

The gift I'm most thankful for this year is clarity. I've never been more clear about where I want to be and who I want to be surrounded by.

This is a 2 player game.

It’s not that complicated, but in today’s time humans enjoy making life complicated. For ex., you can make someone YOU SAY you love feel special by engaging with them…simple right? But then YOU CHOOSE not to, and get upset because now things are feeling off.

Some people don’t want to see you be a better person, because it won’t benefit them. They like that you be doing bad and need them.

We both with will have exactly what we want here soon 💪

I don’t walk away from people to teach them a lesson. I walk away because I’ve learned mine.

And if you feel like the shoe doesn’t fit… don’t force it. Just move on. Because real love fits naturally—it doesn’t have to be squeezed into place.

Love is unconditional. 
Love isn’t about shaping someone into your perfect version. 
Love isn’t about judgment or control.
Love is allowing someone to be who they are while still choosing them. That’s real connection. That’s real love.

But placing those expectations on another human being—especially someone you claim to love—steps into something else. 
It becomes controlling. It becomes judgment disguised as love. And yeah… that’s pretty much narcissistic, lol.

I understand—you want a certain type of person, doing certain types of things, because it helps you feel connected. And honestly? We all want that. We all want to feel seen, supported, understood.
