What looks delayed is often divine.

There’s something sacred about divine timing. We want it fast. We want it now. But God. He’s always working in the unseen, in the soil. And if you’ve ever felt like your life has been on pause while everyone else is running ahead, this is for you.

Because what I know for sure is this: You’re not behind. You’re being prepared.

So today, on my birthday, I’m not rushing to get to the next thing. I’m not chasing "catch up" energy. I’m sitting in the fullness of what God is doing right here. And I’m inviting you to do the same.

This is my blooming season. And maybe it’s yours too.

Sometimes, it’s not said with an attitude.
Sometimes, it’s not said to dismiss.
Sometimes, “I’m sorry” is whispered like a plea—
"I’m sorry for hurting you... can we please move on?"

But even with all the sincerity in the world, it’s still not enough.

(How to Respect Your Body Without Performing for the Mirror)

You’re not failing at self-love.
You’re just tired of pretending that loving your body means loving how it looks every single day.

Mental Health Awareness Month is a time to check in — not just with yourself, but with the people you’re emotionally connected to.

And here’s a truth we don’t talk about enough:
Your relationship can support your mental health — or make it harder to protect.

Let’s start here.
A situationship is not a relationship. It’s not casual. It’s not low-pressure. 

And it’s definitely not love.

It’s a cycle. A comfort zone. A slow leak on your self-worth, dressed up as “connection.”

And lately, it's been glamorized.

Confusion being called a vibe.
Emotional scraps are labeled as alignment.

But if we’re being honest, what it really is, is settling.
 

Self-love is more than just a phrase or a passing trend—it’s the foundation for how you show up in every area of your life. Affirmations matter because they help rewire your mindset and remind you of your worth, but true self-love is deeper than words. It’s in the choices you make, the boundaries you set, and the way you honor yourself daily. Loving yourself isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Faith can be a source of strength, healing, and renewal. But here’s the truth most people won’t tell you: faith alone doesn’t erase emotional trauma. Too often, people are told to “just pray about it,” as if healing is a passive experience rather than an intentional process.

Attraction is instant. Connection is intentional. Too often, people mistake chemistry for compatibility, assuming that just because sparks fly, a relationship is meant to last. But here’s the truth: chemistry can’t hold a relationship together—only deep emotional connection can.

The holiday season is meant to be a time of joy, connection, and relaxation, but for many, it can also bring stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion. Whether it's overbearing relatives, family expectations, or old wounds being reopened, it’s important to protect your peace.
