Check in: People will switch up on you in private, betraying your trust, ignoring your value, or showing their not so good colors, and then turn around and "need" you in public for the sake of appearances or their own benefit. They want the fruit of your association without the labor of being loyal. Don't let their public performance distract you from their private reality. And DO NOT be that person!

Check out: A "bad day" is usually just five bad minutes that you decided to rehearse for twenty-four hours. You’re not stressed; you’re just a bad accountant of your own time. ​

Check in: Delayed grief is a silent poison. You don't cry, you stay numb, and you tell everyone you’re "fine" while moving on like nothing happened. But suppression isn’t healing; it’s just storage. One day, the dam will burst, and the flood will be twice as heavy because you waited so long to face it. You can't outrun a broken mind & heart; you can only postpone the collapse.

Check out: You keep saying you want "honesty," but you get angry at anyone who tells you the truth. Real growth starts when you stop firing the people who hold up the mirror.

03/02/2026

Check in: Most people aren't ignoring you because of you. They are acting from their own unfinished business and limited awareness. You can’t ask for fruit from a tree that isn't in season. Guard your energy and move forward.

Check out: If your records were opened tonight, would they show a person who actually tried, or a person who made excuses with a "prayerful" caption? The real prayer for tonight isn't "Change my life," it’s "Guide my character" Forgive the people you’re holding hostage in your mind so you can finally have the mental space to build.​

Check in: Being an adult feels like a permanent cycle of saying, “If I can just get through this week, I’ll be okay.” But the finish line keeps moving. It’s every single week. You realize that "okay" isn't a destination you arrive at after the "To Do List" for the day are done, it has to be a state of mind you carry through the "To Do List," or you'll spend your whole life waiting to live.

February...

​Found myself in a bit of a "cardiac" situation. Don’t worry, it’s not a medical emergency...just a vibe.

​Is this what people mean when they say they’re "in their feelings"?

​Drop a 🧠 if you’re Team Brain and calculate every single thought, or a ❤️ if you’re Team Heart and making questionable life choices again and again! ​

Check in: I hope you heal from the things you don't talk about. The battles you fight in total silence are the heaviest because there is no one to help you carry the weight. You’ve become a master at “acting normal” while your world is shaking underneath you. Real strength isn’t just carrying the burden alone, it’s eventually allowing yourself the space to put it down. May your private healing be as loud as your private pain.

Check in: As we end the month, know that healing is not a linear race, and your timeline is not a defect. There is a heavy social pressure to "be over it" by a certain date, but faking recovery only delays the real work. If you are still carrying the weight of something from months or years ago, you aren't broken you are simply still processing. You don't owe anyone a performance of being "fine" while you are still rebuilding.

30/01/2026

Check in: Often, the "miracle" isn't that the mountain moved, but that you finally found the strength to climb it or the wisdom to find a path around it.

29/01/2026

Check in: Low-energy days are not a sign of failure; they are a requirement of the human condition. You don’t need to be "on" to be moving forward, and you don’t need to be inspired to be worthy. On heavy days, the goal isn't peak productivity, it’s preservation. Give yourself the grace to be tired while holding onto the certainty that your spark is resting, not finished.
