The room was absolutely packed at my book launch - I was so, so touched!🥹 Here’s one last photo of me posing with Rustlings. Truly felt like an author in that moment. Thank you again @ToppingsEdin for hosting me!

As we diligently labor in the service of God’s Kingdom, let us be neither hasty nor superficial. Let us dig deep, unhindered by worldly criteria, which too often demand immediate results and disregard the wisdom of waiting.

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

Arguably we should de-check-boxify other parts of our life as well. I suspect that when something is right for us, truly right, we are defeated by its immense certainty; the anxious impulse to atomise won’t exist. Decision matrixes are worthless, seek defeat and its afterglow.

It’s really sad, the average vizier only knows about 34% of the total secret passageways in any palace. If you’re onboarding into a new sultan’s retinue I would recommend as a first course of action the comprehensive mapping of as many subterranean tunnel systems as you can

relationships are hyperstitious in the sense that the relationship itself is a living organism, a gestalt of the two people in it. to some extent, the aliveness of the relationship depends on how much each person has to deaden parts of themselves in order to ensure the survival and continuity of the relationship. which is why relationships are so hard to “end”—even a half-alive organism is still alive! people intuitively understand it’s cruel to kill a living creature, even if ensuring its continuation means numbing out vital parts of the self. and of course relationships can change instead of die, but change itself is a form of death

all of my friends have something that i admire about them. the hustle, style, the way they move, beauty, free spirit, intelligence & more.. it’s so important to have ppl around you that motivate you in some kind of way

“It is refreshing to see a home that reflects the owner's taste instead of a designer's idea of what their taste should be.”

still mindblowing pa rin para sakin na there was a time na ang mga kasuotan na may ganitong halos magkapareho na silhouette (maliban sa ilang mga pagkakaiba kagaya ng saya de cola at additional embellishments) ay ginagamit nila para sa iba't ibang mga aktibidad at sa araw-araw

a good conversationalist can make even the most mundane topics feel rich and alive. everything can be interesting if the person talking about it is

The focus of God’s concerns is that no one should perish forever and that everyone should have their own place and radiate their unique beauty.
