a lot of times i’ve had to remind myself that someone’s potential is just what i would do in their situation. the more and more i hang onto their capacity to do better as a friend, family member, or partner i waste time when instead i could pour that energy into people who are fully “potenshed.”
throughout high school when i would fall out with friends, i’d have a victim mentality and automatically assume that the other person was just in the wrong. recently, i’ve started to consider the fact that it’s not about whether the person was right or wrong. .. it’s about whether i find that right or wrong (not everyone has the same beliefs) and if i want to surround myself with friends who don’t agree with me. there is no objectivity to the situation, if i think it’s wrong and you think it’s not, then that’s where our friendship ends so we can find people who our values align with.
my mom always used to tell me that a main contributor to my heartbreak was that i give so much of myself to people and then i can't take it back. this has stuck to me and although i'll never not be my open, loving, self, i will slow down and think about my interactions with people and if they are worthy of my time, energy, and love. and you all should do the same. protecting your heart does not mean closing yourself off.
i feel like a lot of times people demonize the ego and glorify intuition instead of understanding ego is a crucial part of your identity that serves to protect you and be there in the decision-making process. sometimes we need to make decisions with our ego, even if they’re gonna keep us where we are because we cannot handle the risk in our lives. and sometimes we need to make decisions with our intuition so that we can elevate because we are have that room to improve.
when we’re younger we’re so in tune with our creativity but i feel like as we get older it’s conditioned to fade away. when you’re a kid you’re making macaroni crafts and turkey hands just for fun without caring if the finished product is “perfect.” let’s bring that back. instead of doom scrolling and constant consumption, lets bring back that childlike creativity. whatever that may look like.
Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite the way that I present myself. That’s why I always want to be transparent with you guys because I don’t want people comparing themselves to me how I find myself comparing me to others in my niche. That’s why it makes me feel like a fraud in my own aesthetic the way I live vs them but that’s why they say comparison is the thief of joy.
A lot of times when we are manifesting something or praying for something we will ask for signs that’s it’s coming. This is for reassurance or confirmation but most of the time it just stresses us out twice as much. If I don’t see my sign, is my desire not coming? If I do see it, then where’s my desire? All in all, just stop asking and then you’ll receive.
When I saw that thewizardliz got cheated on, I immediately thought: this goes to show that no matter how confident you are or how much you love yourself someone who wants to hurt you is going to do just that and it has nothing to do with you.
Often times we think that since we've put so much time, effort, and love into someone we love we almost owe it to ourselves to see things through. On the flip side, we think that if we given up someone else will reap the benefits of everything we've sewn. It's always important to remember that we don't owe anyone raising them, and if they can find love, so can you.
Let’s say you’ve been talking to someone for a short period of time but you think you’re in love. You’re not in love, you’re emotionally easy. We know energy flows where focus goes. If this person hasn’t been a person worthy of your love (through actions, consistency, trials/circumstance, etc.) this is the emotional easiness talking.

Sanaa talks about the four different attachment styles and how being unaware of yours / your partners’ can be detrimental to relationships.
Sanaa talks about how in her experience, she has questioned whether or not she was a good friend due to her constant judgment of her friends’ choices. Although this may still be the quality of a bad friend, she best describes it as unempathetic empathy which she explains as being concerned for your friend to the point where you lash out on them to “help.” Very unhealthy, and something to work on.
Sanaa talks about how often people will cling to the idea of them having a past right person wrong time but if that person was really the right person, then there would be only the right time.
Sanaa shares that self love is much better than self-confidence because self-love transcends the physical and focuses on the internal. The ultimate form of self love is self-respect.
Sanaa talks about how often we will think that we are fully healed, but in reality we are just distracted and away from our triggering state making us think that we are fully OK.

Sanaa explains that the best way to get over an ex, and to stop yourself from going back to your ex. It all boils down to self love, abundance vs lack mindset, and discipline.
Sanaa teaches us how to be confident/how to stop being insecure. When looking at it from a body positivity/body neutrality standpoint we shouldn’t be insecure despite societal expectations because we are a collection of stars…in skin bags… on a floating rock…
