“Don’t allow the sad sight of human injustice to sadden your soul; someday you will see the unfailing justice of God triumph over it”.
-St Padre Pio
We always go back to the core beliefs that are instilled in us during our childhood. And people still think having children is just to have a prop, a hobby, to project ourselves onto someone, to stop depopulation, or whatever egocentric belief
Children should be created out of LOVE between two people. They should be a reflection of that love, nurtured in an environment that values their well being, growth & individuality
It’s not about fulfilling societal expectations, continuing a legacy, or soothing an ego. A child deserves to be brought into the world for the right reasons—with care, compassion & a REAL desire to guide them into becoming the best version of themselves. They are the future and the TRUE reflection of YOU
At the very least, you should be able to acknowledge your traumas and triggers before having children. No amount of love will keep you from projecting them onto your children until then, as unresolved issues can unintentionally shape their experiences and emotional development. Self awareness and healing are crucial to providing a nurturing and healthy environment for your child’s growth
It is natural to have the biological desire to have children, but it doesn’t mean you are ready just yet. True readiness involves more than just the desire to parent. It requires emotional maturity, self-awareness and a commitment to creating an environment for a child’s development. Being prepared means addressing personal issues & ensuring that you can provide the love and stability a child deserves

Hey! Hope you’ve been well. I know you smell incredibly well, so I need your tips. Please, what do I need to smell good all through the day, everyday? How do I know what scent I like and would fit me? What steps do you take and what are your favourite scents? Thank you!
Hi! I love this question
Smelling good starts from the inside : make sure your gut is functioning properly (are you having daily bowel movements?), support lymphatic drainage by moving everyday even if its just walks, drink water and other mineral rich drinks such as herbal infusions or broths, add chlorophyll to your water from time to time, and have a mindfulness practice that you do everyday (stress greatly impacts our body odor!)
Then, when it comes to your daily hygiene, use soaps/gels that don’t interfere too much with your skin’s microbiome, as that can also cause bad body odor, even if the soap/gel smells nice! I recommend the oil cleanser by la roche posay « Lipikar », followed by a neutral shower gel for further cleansing. Use a feminine unscented wash for your intimates and don’t forget your butt too lol, the Rael gel is lovely for that. Exfoliate your body once or twice a week.
Do armpit detoxes : clay + acv and rinse when it dries. You can do this once a week, and then bi-weekly or monthly for maintenance.
Instead of using deodorants, I suggest swiping a very gentle aha/bha toner it neutralizes odor and helps with brightening your underarms. I tend to use pure musk after that as well, just for the scent.
As for knowing which scent suits you, try out different perfumes until you find one that literally merges perfectly with your natural body’s scent. When you find it you will know, because it’ll actually feel like second skin, you won’t be able to get enough of it. Once you find it, look up the notes and start experimenting with other perfumes that have similar notes, then you’ll have found your « niche » :)
Having money doesn’t solve every problem, but it sure does help. It gives you options, resources, and a safety net that can make navigating life’s challenges a little easier.
Being attractive isn’t everything, but it sure does help. It can open doors, create opportunities, and make first impressions smoother, even if what truly matters lies beneath the surface.
Getting an education won’t make you rich, but it sure does help. It broadens your perspective, builds critical skills, and often gives you a stepping stone toward better opportunities.
Having connections doesn’t guarantee success, but it sure does help. The right network can support you, introduce you to new opportunities, and guide you through challenges.
Having discipline won’t make you immune to setbacks, but it sure does help. It allows you to stay consistent, overcome obstacles, and turn goals into achievements.
Having confidence doesn’t mean you’ll never doubt yourself, but it sure does help. Believing in your worth and abilities can carry you through uncertainty and help you advocate for what you deserve.
The truth is, none of these guarantees a perfect life, but each one plays a role in shaping your journey, helping you rise above challenges and reach your potential.
It doesn’t matter what’s happened this week, who screwed you over, how low you're feeling.. you get yourself together, you focus on your elevation. This is your fucking comeback. You create a new vision board, you write new affirmations, you record yourself speaking life into yourself, reminding you of how fucking-badass you truly are and you loop it and listen every-single-day. You write your forgiviness list and do a mediation to clear all the old baggage, in so creating space for new energy to flow into your life. You pray, and pray some more. You remember to be grateful, always. You put your trainers on and you fucking work-out. You get your groceries from the grocery store and you make healthy clean food. You nourish your body. You remember to take your supplements. You dance, you paint, you cry, you sing. This is your month, your new start, your new beginning.
