1. You cannot change him. Nor should you try. (Resentment)

  2. You cannot save him. (Codependency)

  3. You cannot date potential. (Cognitive distortion)

  4. When he shows you who he really is, believe him the first time.

  5. Actions > Words. Always.

  6. No level of loneliness, boredom, or horniness will ever be worth stooping to the level of a LVM.

  7. Validate yourself. Thirst traps only leave you more dehydrated.

  8. Continue aiming higher. As you attain your goals (financially, academically, spiritually, and so on), constantly be creating new ones. Leveling up is both a process and a destination.

  9. Never settle. Not on a subpar man. Not on yourself. Brush yourself off, get back up, and get back out there. Chase those dreams, beautiful. 👑
