Today, I woke up realizing something deep: pain doesn’t always come from what people say or do—it comes from what we accept. Like Buddha said, when someone offers you a gift and you don’t accept it, who does it belong to? Not you. That’s how words work too. I’m teaching my daughter this. I told her: we don’t have to take in every word thrown at us. We can choose what sticks.
And actions? Yes, they can hurt. But even then, no one has power over our emotions unless we give it to them. That’s strength. That’s freedom.
I'm always never wearing makeup. My lashes, body hair, nails—they're all mine. Natural. Raw. And I’m proud of that. I’d love to get pampered, sure. But not because I feel “less than”—because I already feel like enough. The men I dated accepted my beauty but didn’t choose me. That hurt. But it taught me: love should feel like being chosen and seen.
I’ll never hate on women who enhance their bodies. Do you. I just don’t believe beauty has to come with pain. Not stilettos. Not surgeries. Not pretending.
The one exception? Childbirth. That was pain. But it was the most powerful, beautiful pain I’ve ever felt. It gave me my daughter. She turns 10 this week. And everything I do is for her.
In business, I’ve learned something too: we’re not just selling clothes or services. We’re serving people. And if we want success, we better learn how to treat people well. It’s not about being perfect. It’s about being kind. Even this apartment complex is a business—but they forget people are more than policies. They hand out violations but forget humanity. I won’t run my business like that.
And now, as I learn about economics and politics through business class, I get it. The world will always have cycles—recessions, booms, uncertainty. But it’s about perspective. Maybe the news says it’s all bad. But what if it’s not? What if this is the moment we rise?
This is our time to thrive. Not just survive. For ourselves, our children, our future. We’re building more than businesses. We’re building generations.
