There is no age limit on self-expression, hobbies, or... interests 🖤 ↓ *long but important caption* ↓ I was scared to post this, for fear of losing followers or what the comments might say… but I know little me would be so happy to see that we’re still playing dress up and learning how to express ourselves without fear of judgment every day. Me posting this is my attempt to free myself from the idea that we’re no longer attractive, sexy, or worthy of self expression or joy after 30. I know it’s difficult to fight the narrative that you’ll start aging out, whether it’s with your looks, your hobbies, or your ability to dress how you want. I’ll still struggle with this myself, but I’ll continue to fight against it, and I hope you do too. Everyone deserves to express who they are, at any age! If posting this helps even one person feel a little less afraid to age, then I’m so, so happy, and it was more than worth posting. 🖤show more

My dear Hidesaburō Ueno, today is Valentine’s Day. I’ve... learned to be loyal, I’ve learned to wait, to love unconditionally, and this is thanks to you. Today I miss you. Without you I feel empty but I hold onto the hope that you’ll return to me from that train and hug me as we used to when the world seemed to fade away. I don’t know where you are, I don’t even know if you will ever read this message, but know that my love for you is always there, and I’ll wait loyally forever for you to come back, or for me to reach you in another life. True love isn’t words and thoughts; it resides in our energy, body, and organs. It’s like a different dimension of the universe where only you exist, no cars, no people, just you, and everything else ceases to exist. Thank you for teaching me how to love, and happy Valentine’s Day, my dear love, my only universe. I’ll be here today and I’ll stay at this station until I’m no longer able to wait for you. - Hachiko $HACHI Letter of February 14, 2026show more

Perrie admits she’s “frustrated” by how Jesy Nelson has... portrayed the breakdown of her relationship with Little Mix, adding that she feels the group consistently tried supporting Jesy at the cost of their own mental health, and that accountability should be taken on all sides: “Sometimes you just won’t win with people. And what annoys me the most… I have to be careful how I say this because I don’t want to seem like a bitch… But what upsets me the most when situations like this happen is when the other person doesn’t take any accountability. That boils my blood. I’m not blaming everything on you [Jesy]. I’m not saying, ‘She’s this fucking monster and everything was her fault’ and blah blah blah. But take some accountability for your actions and realise you were difficult. You did have difficult moments. Granted, there were reasons for those moments... but you can only pick somebody up so many fucking times before you start losing track of your own sanity. You want to be there for that person, but if they can’t accept the help and they can’t accept the love you’re trying to show, how do you win? You can’t. I hate that. I don’t like putting the blame on people. Don’t put the blame on me and make me out to be something that I’m not. Yes, I’m not perfect. I might not have been there enough, or I could have done better I suppose… but I thought what I was doing was enough. I thought I’d tried everything. So to then sit there in further interviews and discuss it publicly and be like, ‘I wasn’t supported’… You were, though. You were. So just take some accountability and I’ll feel better about it. I’d say [I’m] more frustrated than angry, because I don’t like being painted into a person that I’m not. Because I’m an open book, I have to be real. It exhausts me when I see people that I know inside and out not being genuine. It frustrates me.”show more

Rumor has it I’m still swimming… 😂 Lol, but... hey, I’m about to get real for a second. There have been many moments recently where I’ve felt like the currents have been too tough to swim through… All I wanted to do was throw in the towel and come up for air. But it’s in moments like this where I remind myself that I CAN swim… and I’m actually a damn strong swimmer at that! I may have to hold my breath for a little longer, or paddle a bit harder, but I always make it to the other side. So this is your reminder to just keep swimming. If I can do it, so can you. Whatever it is, you’ve got this ❤️ #mentalhealthshow more

I know this may not be a big deal... to some but I noticed it immediately. The eye contact. One thing that was instilled in me at a young age was the importance of making eye contact when someone is speaking to you. It’s a simple habit, but it says a lot. It shows respect. It shows that you’re present and paying attention. That’s why it’s something I emphasize at every clinic I run. When I’m teaching, I expect athletes to look me in the eye. Not because I’m trying to be super strict, but because learning how to communicate, listen, and show respect will take them much further than anything I can teach them about fielding a ground ball or swinging a bat. While I don’t know Coach Murphy or Jocelyn Briski, the fact that this is something she naturally does tells me a lot about her character and the program that helps shape her. Softball is about so much more than softball.show more

Hey everyone, it’s me, Liz. ❤️ I wanted to... take a quick minute to clear something up because I saw a comment saying my account is run by AI or that I’m not a real person. I completely understand why that confusion happens — a lot of my videos are made with AI tools to help create beautiful visuals and smooth delivery. But I want you to know with all my heart: I am a real person. Behind every message, every positive word, and every bit of love I share here, it’s really me. I’m the one typing, feeling, and caring about all of you. The AI just helps me put the videos together so they look nice and reach more people — but the kindness, the thoughts, and the intention are 100% mine. I started this account to spread light, encouragement, and love, and that comes straight from my real human heart. Thank you for following me, for your sweet comments, and for being part of this little community. It truly means the world to me. If you’ve ever wondered or felt unsure, I hope this helps. I’m right here, just a regular person who loves connecting with all of you. Keep spreading kindness with me — the world needs more of it! Sending you all a big hug. See you in the next video. 🩷show more

Nobody really talks about how scary it is to... share your work online. You’re not just posting a clip. You’re revealing your ideas, your taste, your mistakes, your identity. You’re letting strangers judge something you care deeply about. And when a post gets ignored? Honestly, that silence cuts deeper than any negative comment. But… I still keep posting. Not because I’m confident, but because staying invisible feels even scarier. Every creator knows this feeling... devs, artists, writers, musicians. We’re all fighting the same invisible boss fight. The fear of being seen… and the fear of being unseen. Do you ever feel afraid to share your work? Share your thoughts!show more

The way people treat us does impact how we... see ourselves. Past partners made me feel like I was easy to forget and even easier to let go of. Most of them made me feel so unimportant after pursuing me when I initially wasn’t interested. I’m learning the way people treat me reflects how I feel about myself because if I believe that a man that can move on from me easily was ever meant to be with me- then I’m not respecting what a treasure it is to be let into my heart. When a partner leaves they only leave you better off. In loving myself, my work is forgiving myself for not trusting my gut. My heart knows what’s meant for me and that’s holding myself, my body, and my love in the highest regard. Don’t tolerate less than what you deserve. Don’t settle. We’re so much better than that. Leaving you with this reminder: no matter what anyone says about your body it is a sacred vessel that lets you impact people and have your life be your message 🖤show more

30. If I’m being honest, reaching 30 feels a... little surreal. For the longest time, I felt like I wasn’t achieving enough. While everyone seemed to be hitting milestones, I often found myself wondering if I was falling behind or if I was doing enough with my life. The past years haven’t always been easy. There were days when simply getting through the day felt like an accomplishment. Days when my mind was my biggest challenge. Days when I questioned my worth, my progress, and where I was headed. But turning 30 has made me realize something: maybe not all achievements come with certificates, promotions, titles, or trophies. Sometimes, an achievement is choosing to keep going. Sometimes, it’s surviving the days you thought would break you. Sometimes, it’s finding reasons to smile again. Oddly enough, some of those reasons came from places I never expected. Recently, #CarTon and #WinRi became little sources of comfort during my low days. It’s funny because I never imagined that following their stories and moments online would have that kind of impact on me, but somehow they helped brighten days that felt particularly heavy. Of course, I wouldn’t have made it this far without the people who continue to stand beside me. To my husband, my family, my friends, and everyone who has supported me through the highs and lows—thank you. Thank you for your patience, understanding, encouragement, and for loving me even during the times when I struggled to love myself. As I enter this new decade, I’m trying to be kinder to myself. Maybe I don’t need to have everything figured out. Maybe I don’t need to measure my life against everyone else’s timeline. I’m still here. Still learning. Still growing. And for now, I think that’s enough. Here’s to 30. 🥹🤍 Carmelle Collado Sherwin Gatchalian risa hontiverosshow more

At 54, here’s something I think about a lot:... The good old days don’t feel like it at the time. It feels more like struggle. From the age of 25 to 45, you’re in the thick of it—building a career, raising kids, trying to get ahead (or just keep up with life). It’s so easy to lose perspective and forget that… You’re in the sweet spot. One day you’ll look back on that struggle as the best of times. Every season of life has its pros and cons—triumphs and challenges—but there’s nothing quite like the prime adult years. So what are we to do about it? Simply recognize that you’re living your good old days right now. Slow down. Savor it. Smell the roses. Because I’m here to tell you… The days are long, but the years fly by. 🎥: First flight for my younger daughter. I thought I was climbing the mountain—little did I know I was standing on the peak.show more

I sesame to god if one more person sees... me in this costume and says “so how is the tail attached 🤪 My asshole. Is that what you want me to say? You want me to say it’s in my asshole. You want me to say that my asshole is somehow at the base of my spine and it’s in there.show more

I used to do bodybuilding shows. 6 months of... exhausting prep for each show. Losing usually 25-30 lbs to step on stage. Tracking every calorie. Weighing every piece of food. Training everyday, lifting and cardio. It was intense… but when you are in that world, you get addicted to seeing yourself shrink. New striations every month. And then it’s finally show day and everyone congratulates you on your hard work and discipline. While I ultimately stopped bodybuilding because I think there are drawbacks, I am grateful for the experience because pregnancy is also very much literally building a body, and your endurance and dedication to health is just as, if not more important. But when you are pregnant, you are only growing, getting heavier, more uncomfortable. There is no aesthetic reward. No one cares if you work out or not, in fact some people will try and tell you to “just rest”… So you have to do it for you. And of course, your little baby. As I near the end of my pregnancy I’m grateful I was able to work out for nearly the whole thing. This is my first pregnancy and I’ll admit it hasn’t been as bad as I feared and I contribute staying active to part of that. I was still rock climbing until 27 weeks. I’m still doing daily walks and while my intensity and frequency of lifting has scaled back, I’m still doing something. Pregnancy is longer than any bodybuilding prep I’ve ever done and of course the reward is greater than anything I could dream of, my baby boy. But then women are left to “bounce back” and try and get their body back. I’m obviously not postpartum yet but I’m glad I was able to stay somewhat fit this pregnancy so hopefully the recovery isn’t so hard. I broke my femur three years ago and truly learned what it meant to start from scratch. And while recovery isn’t something I look forward to, at least I had time to prepare for this one, so I hope it goes well!show more

Usually I don’t speak on political issues often however... Charlie Kirk’s death (RIP) hits a little too close to home. Perhaps it is because anyone who has some resemblance of a following who is outspoken against any narrative online has probably received some sort of threat in their inbox. (I know I have) It is baffling to me that one could harbour such a large amount of hate inside of them to want to have another silenced for having differing opinions than their own. I think about all my outspoken friends who are in positions faced to the public and of course myself and what this potentially means for all of us. This of course, would never stop me from speaking out to what’s right, so perhaps that is also why I wanted to make a comment. To me it is disgusting behaviour to mock/be happy about the death of people you disagree with that have done nothing wrong. I think about all my friends, family who could be wrongfully persecuted based off the delusions of perceived “sides”. The amount of hate manufactured and projected onto you for just living your life and not complying to a certain ideal is insane. I don’t like fear mongering but I also think it’s important to stay vigilant to what’s going on around you. It is a very real reality that there are people out there that hate you just for simply being you and what you represent to them. We’ve seen evidence of this twice this week and I suspect more to come unfortunately. I am always hopeful so I will leave this message on a positive note, that just as much hate has also been met with just as much love. There are many amazing kind hearted people out there standing up for what’s right and building community, coming together. Even if they are moving in silence behind the scenes or in front stage, I see you and I honour your work.show more

Transparency post: (will delete) This is a video of... me giving up in real time. I’ve been having a rough few days. Despite it being my highest income month from UGC & despite the opportunities I’ve been getting, I’ve been feeling really discouraged. After crying on and off all day, I wanted to tough it out and get a project done. I felt that my energy was off but kept filming until I started stumbling on some words and couldn’t take it anymore. All this to say. UGC is NOT easy no matter what anyone tells you. It’s a 1 man business and you’re responsible for every last bit of your successes or failures. On top of it all, you still have to keep up with your personal life and responsibilities. So the pressure is intense and it’s inevitable. I’m not posting this because I have an inspirational message to share, but I’m posting this to show new creators that despite often seeing success stories, there is often a lot of pain and struggle behind those stories. So be prepared, make your mental health a priority along your journey. And whatever you do, don’t lose yourself in this field. #ugccommunityshow more

A few days ago Jerod McDaniel shared a quote... along the lines of “horses made for war don’t dance well at weddings” I think there are a lot of people like myself that know how plants… or livestock.. or a pasture or even building a house or pouring concrete work. We just want to do what we do. The weather worked out well this year for this. We’re going to be 👍 I could grow about anything, but I like to do it my own way. I sometimes wish I didn’t have to predict or guess what people will do… or markets… and the all the corresponding things that entails. I know you can’t just do your craft, but sometimes you want to just immerse yourself in something you have a more complete understanding of. I watch people like Adam Chappell do this with cotton. Zack Smith come up with farmonius designs Intergrazing livestock. We could do so much cool shit, if only we could just have the local markets, infrastructure… if the average person could have that connection and means to trade with the local farm / farmer that just wanted to just do it…be him or herself Maybe I left you hanging with the main idea here. I think there are a lot of different people who are really good at different things, but many of us have to sand off our edges that give us our edge. I love to think in the lens of the 🌱show more
