Was “threads” a thing for all of three months, or what? Asking for a friend. 👀

Today a very wise Costa Rican man shared his wisdom with me: “Being with someone you think you can fix— someone who uses you as a distraction from doing their own innerwork and healing— is like carrying around a backpack full of someone else’s stones.” 🎒🪨 That hit me hard. Because that’s exactly how it’s felt. 😮‍💨

Impress me with your hunger for life, not your thirst for attention or lust for approval. I’m drawn to people chasing purpose—not subscribers, not followers, not likes, and certainly not applause.

Fit is hot—no doubt. But there’s a fine line between what’s natural and what’s just plain obsessive. Social media has obscured the idea of “sexy” into something that looks more like a full-time job. If your physique depends on 6 meals a day, nonstop shakes, and panic over missing a multi-hour gym sesh… is that strength, or just aesthetic anxiety? Natural bodies are beautiful too. - Why? Because they last. They don’t disappear when the routine slips, the gym closes, or the protein runs out. And sorry, but if your “hotness” would collapse the minute gyms shut down and supplements disappeared… was it ever truly hot in the first place?

Jumping ship from one relationship straight aboard another? ⛵️ Call it “healing,” “a distraction,” or just “your process,” if you must… But there’s a reason they call them Relationship Pirates. 🏴‍☠️❤️‍🩹⚔️ #arghhh

The wisest thing I’ve heard in a while: “Unhealed attracts unhealed.” Let that sink in. 🧲 ⚡️🩹

Taking a cue from the buffalo. 🦬 They don’t flee the storm — they instinctively move toward it. The sooner you’re in it, the sooner it passes. ⛈️

Is it bad that I don’t bother liking or commenting on the influx of mirror selfies nor the (unnatural) beefy bod thirst trap pics taking over this app? 🪤 🐁 Like fr tho— why do they need my attention on top of everyone else’s?! 🤔 💭 #justsayin

Nothing is impossible. ✨🦋💫

I recently asked a new user what they thought of Collective App. Their response? “I think it’s decent — lots of shirtless gym boys tho, which is kinda annoying.” My reply: “Oh we just ignore them. They’ll get it eventually.” The takeaway: Mirror selfies and the constant need to show off shirtless, beefy bods isn’t confidence — it’s stagnation. It signals limiting beliefs, emotional shallowness, and a lack of true self-awareness. #justsayin

⚠️ Beware of new people you meet/date/befriend who make you feel like what you have isn’t good enough and/or ‘could be better.’ 🙇🏼‍♂️ This is a subtle (yet potent) way to hijack your energy and even potentially destiny swap— that is if you believe in that typa stuff ofc. 👀 ⚠️

Tryna find the blessings in the lessons. ❤️‍🩹
