pls describe ur bf😭i am such a bookworm and also want him to be exactly like all my book bfs

ODJFISBOMGG OKAYY

okay okay LISTENNN, this man was made up 😭 he has the same first, last and NICKNAME of my favorite book bf. he doesn’t need to know this but maybe i’ll gift him an annotated version of the book and be like “oh my god what a coincadink… 😦😮🫣🤪” our subconscious really has our back with the perfect details ????

he’s 6’3, his build is chefs kiss. he’s really sweet, confident, overprotective, cocky ew jk in a good way yk i’m gonna stop now, he wasn’t looking for anyone/interested in a relationship because of his past and he recently just moved to the state from his home country a few months ago but he approached me first. HE WAS IN A SUIT. A SUIT…… i’m gonna faint. i looked really good that day too so that day was beyond perfect. he ofc, has his own group of friends that are protective yet goofy mfs. they’re all different which makes it fun to see them interact and banter like little kids lol. he’s really romantic too. i’ve never been in a relationship before so he took it really slow and easy, making sure i felt comfortable bc i may or may not have said “i hate men 👹👹” infront of him on the day we met. BUT TO BE FAIR I WAS HAVING A CONVO WITH MY FRIEND LMAOO

he’s really understanding, we’re two different people but we have troubled pasts that makes us connect. when i’m with him, i feel safe and seen. no one has ever had my back my whole life like he does. because of our different interests, my favorite thing about us is that we enthusiastically talk about it with each other and teach each other different things all the time. i swear, it will never get old. he’s a business man so he automatically has that dominate/upper hand aura to him.

o and he has an audi.

I. LOVE. AUDIS.

things to start and stop doing to be the best you

things to start doing:

put yourself first - live for yourself and up to your own standards and stop pushing aside your needs for other people.

set healthy boundaries for yourself and others

always find new skills and hobbies to learn and pick up

have a routine that works for you

never settle for less. if it's not what you want, keep looking forward.

be bold - not letting fear stop you from being great

improve your self talk. compliment yourself more. tell yourself things will be okay.

enjoy the silence more

more self reflection!

learn how to enjoy your own company

socialize more

take yourself out on solo dates

walk with your head high, shoulders back

listening to your intuition when you first brush it off. you can find out the reason later.

start being active. move your body. go on walks, go to the gym, sign up for yoga, dance classes, pilates, etc.

continue talking when someone cuts you off.

put people in their place. if your boundaries have been crossed or you see something that isn't right, don't be afraid to speak your mind whenever you see necessary.

read more books. set a goal for each month.

seek for all sides of the story. never come to a set conclusion at first glance or none at all.

take your own advice.

be assertive. don’t allow yourself to be pushed around. do what's good for you no matter what anyone says, be clear about what you want in life and go for it.

ask questions. don't be afraid to. this applies to everything.

explore different styles that pique your interest. clothes, majors, hobbies, jobs, literally everything.

journaling your thoughts and ideas.

things to stop doing:

seek validation from others

living for others when you should be living for yourself.

passively consume content on social media

having FOMO. who cares if you missed out on the latest celebrity gossip, what person cheated on who, the food pictures people are posting on their stories. does it benefit you for a lifetime? no? okay then.

saying "i'm going to do this" and not do it.

isolating yourself for a long period of time

spending more time on your phone than you are living your life. there's life outside a glowing screen. stop wasting what you have and make the best of it even if it seems "impossible". you can always make something out of nothing.

comparing yourself to others

idolizing everyone. celebrities, public figures, influencers....

letting people's limiting beliefs have a hold over you

choosing to keep the victim mentality.

putting your responsibilities and happiness aside to laze around or for other people.

sticking with your circle when you've outgrown them. i don't care how long you've known them for and how good the bond was. if they're not good for you anymore, leave.

letting people step all over you - say no and don't give in to pleases.

pushing your trauma/problems aside. your problems are no less than others. you are important too. tend to yourself.

guilt trip yourself for resting when you want/need to.

abandon your needs.

insulting yourself for failures and mistakes. it's normal, you're okay.

believing everything you see and hear whether it be online or in real life.

don't take criticism from people you wouldn't take advice from. or anyone for that matter unless it's out of the goodness of their heart (constructive)

self-doubt simply doesn't exist within me. no matter how impossible something seems or how hard it will be to achieve I'm always like "okay and?" and then I make it happen. maybe it's bc I have a proven track record of getting what I want but like nothing seems impossible to me. why would I doubt myself? I can have whatever I want, it's that simple. if other people have made it happen, that means it can be done so why would it not be able for me to get it too? no self-doubt. no need for it.

being a lover girl around men who only want me for sex is like being a lamb surrounded by wolves and im being eaten alive again and again and again because i think they're different and they're not

✨ 2pretty’s Motivational Quote Library ✨

I have been collecting my favorite quotes for the past few years now. Many of these have gotten me through tough classes, long study nights, and reminded me to work hard for what I want most in life. Save this post and read it when you need it. But keep in mind, reading motivational quotes won’t get your work done. It only inspires a spark of motivation. You have to actually do the work afterwards too.

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door (Milton Berle)

Think about exactly what you don’t want and then do the direct opposite

The person who says it cannot be done should not interrupt the person who is doing it 

Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs (Farrah Gray)

Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds (Gordon B. Hinckley)

Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming (John Wooden)

80% of success is just showing up

If you do what you’ve always done, you’ll get what you’ve always gotten (Tony Robbins)

Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up (Thomas Edison)

If you really want the key to success, start by doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing (Brad Szollose)

Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough (Og Mandino)

The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me (Ayn Rand)

It is never too late to be what you might have been (George Eliot)

A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week (George Patton)

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out (Robert Collier)

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant (Robert Louis Stevenson)

Either you run the day or the day runs you (Jim Rohn)

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today (H. Jackson Brown, Jr.)

Life isn’t about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself (George Bernard Shaw)

I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse (Florence Nightingale) 

You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do (Henry Ford)

Formula for success: rise early, work hard, strike oil (J. Paul Getty)

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop (Confucius)

Productivity is never an accident. It is always the result of a commitment to excellence, intelligent planning, and focused effort.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence then, is not an act, but a habit 

Commitment is staying true to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in had left. 

Don’t ask what’s the least you can do to be good. Ask what’s the most you can bare to be great. 

Ask yourself if what you are doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow. 

Don’t study until you get it right. Study until you can’t get it wrong. 

Get up early enough to set your intentions for the day in stone. A good morning is the beginning of a successful day. You are capable of everything you want to do today. You are strong, secure and able to achieve. There is no task too hard when you believe in every ability you hold, you are determined to hit every goal. Do not give up on yourself.

Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.

Hard work will never betray you.

Aggressive goals require aggressive work ethic. 

The best way for you to predict your future is to create it (Abraham Lincoln)

The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing (Walt Disney)

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment (William Arthur Ward) 

You need to understand that studying requires extensive training. Study habits, amount of sleep, timing. Therefore, you should see it as a sport. In order to get better you need to repeat and practice. Your brain needs to be recited all this information for long term memory. It’s a hard process, I know, but trust me you’ll get there.

You get what you work for

You won’t have this day again, so make it count.

not me crying after putting on a random ring onto my ring finger
