Your story isn’t over. 🌅

Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day — September 10, 2025 — we remember lives lost and stand together for those who are still fighting.

If the pages of your story feel torn right now, know this: every chapter you’ve lived through matters, and there are people who want to read the next one with you.

If you’re struggling, you don’t have to carry it alone. Reach out — a call or a message can change everything. In the Philippines, help is available 24/7:
• National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) Crisis Hotline: 1553 or 0917-899-8727.
• Hopeline / Natasha Goulbourn Foundation: 2919 (Globe/TM) or 0917-558-4673 / (02) 8804-4673.

If you’re worried about someone, stay with them, listen without judgment, remove immediate means if safe to do so, and connect them to help right away. For emergencies, call local emergency services.

To everyone reading: check in on a friend today. Send a message. Share this post. A small act of care can keep someone’s story going.

You are not a burden. Your story isn’t over. 💚 ***dePreventionDay

💡 Weaponized Incompetence: The Art of “I’m Totally Clueless, Can You Do It for Me?” 🤔

Ever worked with someone who magically forgets how to do things the second it’s their turn? Like, one minute they’re a spreadsheet wizard, the next minute they’re like, “Spreadsheets? What are those?!” 🙄

🎭 It’s called "WEAPONIZED INCOMPETENCE". It’s when someone acts totally helpless so they can get out of doing something they don’t want to do… and somehow, you’re the one stuck picking up the slack.

Examples include:
🔹 “I have NO idea how to send an email. Can you just do it for me?”
🔹 “Oh, I’d love to help, but… is this a you job? I’m not great at this.”
🔹 “I didn’t realize it was my turn to do that…” (Oh, really? 😏)

It’s like a superpower—if that superpower was being really good at avoiding responsibility. 🙃

✅ How to Handle Weaponized Incompetence:
1️⃣ Set Clear Expectations – Assign tasks with clear deadlines and confirm mutual understanding.
2️⃣ Don’t Rush to Rescue – If they’re “unsure,” guide them instead of taking over.
3️⃣ Document Everything – Keep a record of responsibilities so there’s no “I didn’t know” excuse.
4️⃣ Use Accountability Loops – Regular check-ins make it harder to dodge work.
5️⃣ Be Consistent – Don’t reward helplessness by always bailing them out.

The bottom line: They’re not helpless—they’re strategic. Don’t let their game become your workload. 💪

🎨 You are allowed to be a masterpiece and a work in progress at the same time.

You can be proud of how far you’ve come
and still be working on yourself.
You can celebrate your growth
while healing old wounds.
You can shine — and still have shadows.

Don’t wait to be “finished” before you see your worth.
You’re already valuable, already enough, already art. 🌟

🌅 Tomorrow needs you.
Your story isn’t over.
Even if today felt heavy. Even if you’re tired. Even if it’s hard to see the light.

You matter — more than you know.
There are people you haven’t met yet who will be grateful you stayed.
There are moments ahead that will make your heart feel full again.

So take a breath. Rest if you must. But hold on.
Tomorrow needs you. ❤️

🔁 It’s okay to start over.

To leave what no longer serves you.
To rebuild from the pieces.
To choose peace over perfection.

Starting over isn’t failure — it’s courage.
It means you’re wise enough to let go, and brave enough to begin again.
So if you need to take a breath, reset, and start fresh… do it. 🌿
You owe no one an explanation for choosing yourself.

🌧️ You’ve survived 100% of your bad days.
Read that again.

The days you thought would break you… didn’t.
The nights you cried yourself to sleep… you woke up anyway.
The battles no one saw… you still showed up.

You’re still here. Still standing. Still trying.
That’s strength. That’s resilience. That’s you. 💪💖

🌱 Growth happens outside your comfort zone.

It’s not always easy.
Sometimes it feels awkward, scary, or uncertain.
But that discomfort? That’s the space where you evolve.

Every time you challenge old patterns, try something new, or face what scares you — you’re stretching. You’re growing. You’re becoming.

Don’t fear the unfamiliar. That’s where your next level lives. 🚀

🛑 Setting boundaries is an act of self-love.

It’s not about being selfish.
It’s about knowing your worth.
It’s about protecting your peace, your energy, and your healing.

You don’t have to explain yourself to everyone.
You don’t have to carry what’s not yours to hold.
Saying “no” is sometimes the most loving thing you can do — for yourself and others.

15/07/2025

💬 You are braver than you believe.
Even on the days you doubt yourself.
Even when fear whispers louder than hope.
Even when all you did was get out of bed and try again.

Courage isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s simply choosing not to give up.
So if no one has told you today — I’m proud of you. Keep going. 💛

14/07/2025

🌱 Progress, not perfection.
Sometimes we get so caught up in trying to do things perfectly that we forget the most important part: we’re moving forward.

Whether it’s healing, learning, working on yourself, or just making it through the day — celebrate the small steps.
They matter. They add up.
You’re doing better than you think. 💪✨
