If they wanted to, they would.

One simple piece of advice for you when dealing with a narcissist: don’t.

Share with someone who needs to hear this.

If someone walks away when you show up as your true self, they're giving you a gift. They're showing you that they were never aligned with your values in the first place. This is a hard pill to swallow but being alone and aligned with your values > Being together and betraying yourself. Always.

Most of us don’t lack creativity. We’re just scared. Scared of failing, being judged, or wasting our time. But as Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert reminds us, fear is part of the process. ㅤ Your job isn’t to be perfect. It’s to show up, make the thing, and let the world think what it wants. ㅤ What’s one creative idea you’ve been sitting on? Drop it in the comments.

Anxiety feeds off uncertainty—and that makes sense. Not knowing what’s coming can feel overwhelming, even threatening. ㅤ But here’s something most of us never learn: it’s not always the uncertainty itself that wrecks us. It’s the way we try to fight it—chasing answers, control, and guarantees we may never get. ㅤ You don’t need certainty to take the next step. You need courage to move forward anyway. ㅤ The more you can sit with “I don’t know,” the more grounded you’ll feel—even when life’s up in the air. And, let’s be honest, isn’t it always? ㅤ Drop a 👊 in the comments if you’re learning to live with the unknown, one day at a time.

This news is not depressing, but liberating.

Cut the crap, follow your dreams, eat burritos. Simple life advice that doesn’t suck.

You didn’t even know you needed to hear this.

Stop letting other people’s insecurities decide your path. If you wouldn’t trust them for genuine advice, why give their criticism so much power? Try shifting your mindset to this: your own opinion is the one that counts.
