Date men who are happy to provide for you & spoil you🖤

2023: low key & loved. 🔐

Freestyling 💌

What do you call placing yourself in a position that aligns with your goals? Well AI calls it “Strategic”. You’re being strategic when you place yourself in an environment where the kind of men you want to date frequent.

I’ve seen videos on TikTok saying how it is “desperate” to go to upscale restaurants, bars, lounges and coffee shops in upscale neighborhoods with the intention of meeting a man. When in reality it is the smartest thing you can do to take control of your love life. When people say things like “love will find you when you least expect it”. Can the same be said for a job that you want? Is it desperate to apply for jobs better yet should the employer just hire a random person they found on the street? It doesn’t work that way sweetie. This often will be said by people who are already in long term relationships or who want you to stay single or settle or want you to buy their course.

Place yourself in an environment to be found by the kind of man that you want. That is the best way to get what you want. Do your research. Use google to find out the information that you want to know.

1. Only go to places that you would want to be taken on a date to. Don’t go anywhere that you don’t like.

2. Order a single non alcoholic drink and if you get hungry order an appetizer, side or dessert. It will be very cheap. Or just wait until a man comes over and offers to buy you a drink and then order whatever food that you want since he is paying.

3. Be open, friendly and smile. Don’t forget to make eye contact.

How else do you expect to get the life that you want if you don’t place yourself in a position to receive it?

One of the best things I learned was that it was never too late to start over.

I've heard this being said before but it never really clicked until I met someone who embodied it fully and unapologetically. My Palestinian neighbors had a relative who I had always looked up to when I was in high school. She was smart, funny, loving, and most importantly knew her worth. Her worth wasn't spoken about. Never had I heard her utter things like "I'm confident" or "I know my worth" or anything else along those lines. However, she did embody it.

When I was in high school she was being courted by a man who seemed to adore her and shower her with love. From the outside looking in, he seemed enamored with her. At some point, she accepts to being his wife. They have a lovely engagement party. The wedding was going to be even better. So, imagine my surprise, and many others, when on the day of the wedding, as people are getting ready and making their way to the venue, the entire thing is called off. Money was already put in. Money they couldn't get back. The reason for calling off the wedding? This man began to insult her and make some interesting remarks and as a result she decided she wasn't going through the wedding. I don't know what was said but I do know her family made it clear that she should've worked it out rather than just leave especially on the actual wedding day. After all, what would people think? For those who don't know, plenty of Middle Eastern and North African cultures would view this as an issue. And I personally know many women who have had deep regrets over their marriage but were too worried about the stigma of canceling the wedding when it was so close and the potential of being seen as difficult or spoiled. Of course, this wasn't everyone but a good majority.

Seeing this very statement of "never too late to start over" be embodied by someone wholeheartedly really altered my perspective when I was younger. I also got to see first hand the strength it requires to start over while everyone around you is judging your very decision. Thanks to her I grew up with a solid example to follow and have tried my best to have this attitude with everything in my life. Personally, it has paid off well.

I am the voyager and the wayfarer. I am the light and the darkness. I am luxury. I am leisure. I am rest. I am ease. I am success. I am power. I am mother. I am daughter. I am lust. I am rage. I am wrath. I am always right. I am never late. I am the beginning and the end.
