“Women Empowerment Reminder of The Day. Always respect yourself as a woman. You attract what you are, so be very mindful of how you’re representing yourself. If you want respect, you must first learn how to respect yourself, first. Attracting negative attention is never a good thing. Be a woman of substance! Be a woman that both women and men respect, admire, and look up to. Don’t disrespect yourself by lowering your standards and accepting just anything that comes your way. It’s okay to be single! If you want a relationship of substance, you can’t keep entertaining people and things that mean you no good. Think about it! It’s all up to you.”
― Stephanie Lahart

Be impressed because he’s got confidence, direction, and purpose in his life. Be impressed because he’s a quality man, NOT a fine man. Real Talk!”
― Stephanie Lahart

Your happiness and well-being is important. Protect it by always valuing who you are!”

“Everyone who comes takes a little — a favour here, an hour there, your attention, your patience, the benefit of the doubt, one more small yes — each request reasonable, each taker likeable, and the sum of it, by evening, by year's end: knee height. Nothing left standing tall enough to flower.

“The mind is a sieve, the boy says — pour the ocean through it and come back and find it dry; whatever it is given, it has already stopped counting. Now put a crown on the sieve and hand it the treasury of the world. That was Cyrus. Lydia down, Ionia down, Babylon swallowed in a night without a battle — and the same restlessness back on a horse the next season, riding at a grass country with nothing in it he could spend. Because the appetite was never for anything, keeper. That is the machine's founding secret, first edition, every edition: it cannot arrive. It can only continue.”
― Matri, Bliss Is Your Birthright
