Sis is leading. Sis is moisturized. Sis is focused. Sis is eating clean. Sis is reading. Sis is well fed. Sis receives good morning and you up texts. Sis is creating. Sis plays for the win. Sis is glowing periodt! (self-five for the reference) Sis is me. I am sis.
“If you’re trapped in a room, and nobody is coming to save you, what can you do? You have to bang on the walls and break the windows. You have to climb out and save yourself. It’s obvious, Li-ling, that crying doesn’t help a person live.”
― Madeleine Thien, Do Not Say We Have Nothing
Someone needs to drop a new summer bop because I can’t keep dancing to Burna boy’s “On the Low”. I have run out of dance moves.
If I wrote a book today, it’s title would be “Teaching my cat how to fight”. Jordan suggests, “How to train your cat”. I can hear it being whooped somewhere outside and it will get in through the window in 3, 2, 1… Yo! Is that blood? To be continued…
Is anyone else turned off by the misuse of ellipses or is that just a me thing? Do the people who use 2 dots understand that there are supposed to be 3 dots? Who are they saving that last dot for? Is it that serious Juliet?
In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex. . . .”~ Thoreau
I’m here to confirm that eating clean just before and or during your period will do wonders to your body. I had lighter cramps this month and I chose to fully attribute it to being conscious about my food choices then. I’m currently working out a meal plan for that time of the month. Cravings factored in et al because that’s above me.
Have you practised some self-restraint today?
Why am I getting these 'is he cheating' ads? These search engines and algorithms really don’t know me. Whew. Chile. Heterosexuality is the ghetto.

Something is happening (hormonally or otherwise) that’s shifting some lovely 🌞 my way. I’m grateful for all the forces that be; that be working for me. #blessed #gratitudeisamust
Shout out to Cleopatra. She was 8 more than 92 that bitch. Minus the murder stuff.
She spoke as many as a dozen languages and was educated in mathematics, philosophy, oratory and astronomy, and Egyptian sources later described her as a ruler “who elevated the ranks of scholars and enjoyed their company.”
Appreciating all my gemini gems this season❤💜💛. The real lomls were born in June.
& Finally, here are some daily affirmations from our girl Lizzo:
- If he (she/they) don’t love you anymore, just walk your fine ass out the door
- Woo girl, need to kick off your shoes
Got to take a deep breath, time to focus on you - You don’t get dehydrated, you moisturize it daily
You are your inspiration, you are your inspiration (get up) - No, you’re not a snack at all. Look, baby, you’re the whole damn meal
- Mirror, mirror on the wall. Don’t say it, 'cause you know you cute
- You just took a DNA test, turns out you’re 💯that bitch.
See you next flow*
XOXO.
We move.
