something to think of?

There’s no real point in competing with other women and it’s an unhealthy mindset to get into. What you should be doing is looking at your past self and trying to find ways to be better than her. Part of moving forward is acknowledging your past self and thinking of ways to be better than her. It doesn’t always have to be physical, it can be mental as well, but the last thing you should do is compare yourself to others when you don’t know their struggles and you have struggles of your own that you should be aware of and at least attempting to work through. It’s taken me a while to realise this but it’s very important for me to remember.

What's something that you preached in the past that you no longer agree w/?

Impulsive ghosting and blocking. I used to promote the "just ghost/block people if they get on your nerves" nonsense, but the older that I get the more I find communication to seriously be so important. It's selfish to believe that everyone has the same mindset and/or perspective as yourself and one of the reasons why relationships/friendships fail in this generation is because people are quick to ghost and replace rather than talking things out like real adults. Not saying that you should stay in toxic relationships but sometimes a simple disagreement consists of a simple conversation and assuming the worse case scenario is a bit childish.

Shouldn't black women date outside their race though?

I never said they shouldn't, I promote this 100% to not stay loyal to black men. I just find the "I need to find my pasta and lobster white boy" and "intentionally wearing a bad wig to attract a white man" trend to be corny. Date interracially without being silly about it, especially since the energy that they're putting out is not being reciprocated. They just look dumb.

Hypergamy Harsh Truth?

The only thing I can really say is that men don’t want to date losers so do something with yourself and with your life. No one wants to spend their precious time with someone who they view as a burden or a waste of time, no one wants to waste their life away with someone who has nothing going on for them and is just a pretty face, and no one wants to hear endless talk about the soft life or other vapidness or spend the best years of their life with someone who’s never been able to grow up. You’re not a teenager anymore, it’s not cute to have never grown up and it’s not fair to expect others to stand by you whilst you fuck around. If you have nothing going on for you, if you’ve never lived outside of your family home or you’re incapable of working a job, and if you can’t take care of yourself then you cannot reasonably expect someone else to want to do that for you. The amount of emotional labour and sometimes even physical labour that goes into beginning and maintaining a relationship is intense and you’re not going to develop those skills overnight and you’re also shit out of luck if you don’t have basic social skills or the ability to create or maintain surface level friendships or relationships, you need confidence and you’re not going to gain those skills from anything I tell you. You need to get outside and actually work.

Secret of the elite woman; you don't secure the bag. You secure the network that secures the bag. Network = networth, if I have to text you this everyday @ 5 am I will.

There are tons of information out there on how to network (I have an ebook on it too on my website) but we barely talk about who to have in your network. Making friends is cool but you need friends that will level you up and keep you up there, power is stored in webs. Well then what kind of friends will make a strong web? As your self appointed big sister let me take the liberties

Finance Barbie. Yeah. You need a bestie in finance, mainly accounting, investing and basically banking. Now much respect if you are good with the numbers queen but for the rest of us mortals we need help all year round. When you build your web find you a finance queen that will keep you up to date with finance trends, the stock markets, currency, help you out with accounting &c.

Law Barbie. You want to never get screwed over? Find you a friend from the law (sector?). My business was literally saved by a thing a lawyer friend said in passing, this is one of the pillars of a succesful person. Eventually you'll have to hire a lawyer don't leech off the homegirls pay what's due but you will pick literal life changing information from this bunch.

Law enforcement. Might be the immigrant in me but being friends with a ranking officer in law enforcement has saved my hide countless times and I overall feel safer knowing a couple of people in uniforms got my back. Plus if you're an immigrant the social navigation that comes with a friend in uniform is Godsent.

A social butterfly. We need socialite friends besties. I'm looking at you introverts. I have an influencer social butterfly friend that has introduced me to most if not almost all of the opportunities I've had. There is a special place in heaven for girlies that know who is who, who is doing what when, which restaurant has the best meals &c. Us introverts appreciate you you have no idea.

A religious bestie (if you are religious) . Honestly this girl I met in church five years ago is probably responsible for my faith still being intact. Get you someone to keep you in line. To worship and pray with. To remind you how it is.

& sis remember relationships are an exchange of value. You need to bring something to their table, don't be leeching okay? Okay.
