The toughest workout of the week is probably Wednesday and yes it is leg day, by that point I’m starting to feel tired and so my lifting session is a bit rough!
Some Wednesdays are better than others but for the most part it’s always tough but I always push through it. I guess it makes sense that it would be Wednesday since it’s a day in the middle of the week known as hump day. But thankfully I’m done with work early on those days and I can take a fat nap before my meetings. That’s probably the best part about Wednesdays ! The naps!

some people tells me " wow you've changed, you don't talk to me anymore you're acting cold" Am I really? reasons why I take a step back :

when I text you, you take hours to reply best believe I will never text you again. It's like I am begging for an answer and honey I never beg. So that's why you don't see me texting anymore. I learned everyone is in a priority list; If I am not at the top or among the top 5 of your priorities, then why bother?
I realize I go the extra mile while you wouldn't even go an inch for me. why am I bending myself over backwards for someone who doesn't care? you don't miss me, you miss the sacrifices I used to make for you.
you're in a relationship. If you're a man and I know you're dating someone I will never call, text or breathe near you. I will give you side hugs, I don't engage with men with girlfriends. If I already liked you I will never get in contact with you unless you come to me.. but aside from that I will avoid you like the plague. I hate cheating and I would hate for a girl to be on my man. I make mistakes and I am not perfect but I hate it when I or girls talk to men in relationships. I don't look at those men. I deserve my own boyfriend I am too beautiful and amazing to share a man. Eww. I am also jealous and possessive so no I can't do that.
You don't bring anything to my life, I am not talking about material things. Like you don't make me happy, you don't help me in any way, you don't listen, you don't do anything... so why would I stay in contact with you?

I am not a clingy girl, I dismissed and replace quickly. I am the type of person to confess my love today and block you tomorrow and I never go back on my decisions (if you really did hurt me, you're gone) I am a leaver. I don't stay where love is not.

My take on the ICE situation

You didn’t ask me but I’m going to tell you about what I think anyway. What I will

Say might shock you. I think it’s just awful! But the reality is they are actually doing their jobs! But the way they do it doesn’t seem right. To go in a child’s school to take their parents and deport them is crazy!

Truth is it is unlawful to come to a country without proper documentation and I understand that a lot of people are running away from unsafe countries but is it worth it to go to a place where you can’t work or live without documentation? Well some people might say yes . I think everyone deserves to be safe and well but living in fear because you don’t have correct documentation is not a great life, sure one could argue it is much better than running away from death.

Take the temporary protected status situation that the president plan to end soon I believe the last day is on Tuesday ?! I do pray that doesn’t happen because I know those countries are not safe ! Especially Haiti! What do you mean it’s safe to return? Those immigrants with TPS came legally ! That I don’t agree with. That’s inhumane to deport all of these people to go live in a very unsafe environment! These people have jobs, businesses and they started a whole life here in the US so what they’re supposed to get up and leave it all behind?! I understand if an unlawful immigrant commit a crime and they get deported but those people who have jobs aren’t the problem! They are contributing to the economy ! America was built by immigrants. I am an immigrant and this is totally unfair. I pray that all my fellow Haitians get their tps renewed.

One thing that pisses me off is when people assume what kind of problems I could be having. Just because I’m not dating anyone doesn’t mean I don’t talk to men or that I’m lonely, I do go on dates I just haven’t found anyone that I’m compatible with yet. Just because I’m quiet or I look sad doesn’t mean I’m depressed or that I have low self esteem issues. Quite the contrary I value myself and I hold myself at high standards and esteem. I love who I am, sure I can always improve but I’m not miserable because of who I am. Just because I look serious doesn’t mean I don’t joke or can’t take a joke, that’s just my face I’m actually a goofball and a clown with my friends.

The moral of the story is if you think I have a problem talk to me or ask questions. Not only me but anyone else, instead of putting people in different boxes or judging them let’s talk to them first

At the end of last year I was thinking about getting braids with extensions...shocking I know. I was bored with my hair but honestly I hate using extensions because my scalp gets irritated and I just can't stand the weight of hair that's not mine. I love wearing my natural hair in whatever form that it comes in. I do believe no other hair will ever as beautiful as my own hair. If I have a daughter someday I will teach her to love her hair and I will never use extensions or use chemicals in her hair, she can do that when she's grown but as a child I am not doing any of that. I saw a 6 year old with a wig! and the baby didn't have alopecia or any scalp condition! why would the other do that? essentially that's teaching the kid that fake hair is better than her own hair. You have to start teaching your kid to love her hair at a young age, you can't start when when she's 18 and deep in fontal wigs and 30 inch buss down.

My mom did help me love my hair, she used to do cute hairstyle on my hair when I was a kid. She only put a perm in my hair when I begged her in 7th grade and even then I always wear my own hair. I started wearing hair extensions when I came to the US when I was 15 years old and I stopped when I was 26 years old so it's been 3 years since I made the decision to stopped wearing hair extensions/wigs but when I was 27 years old I wore braids for a week but I hated it and I immediately took it off after my dad passed away for his funeral because he used to always tell me how much he loved my hair, so I wore it to see him one last time.

Today mark 2 years since my father has passed away...I feel a little sad. Last year I did take the day off but not this year, I am working today. I can't help but remember that Tuesday morning when I got the call that my dad is gone, it felt like a dream I could not wake up from. I felt like I was living someone else's life that day, I didn't cry until I cam home after the meeting because we had C.o Visit that week. I cried for hours, screamed and I was basically hysterical. After that I didn't cry for weeks, maybe months... I just couldn't cry and I felt guilty because why couldn't I cry? I felt like a monster, like the worse daughter in the world...I was numb.. I couldn't feel anything. I explored that with my therapist at the time, mostly he just let me talk but he didn't give me any feedback or anything that's why I did let him go because anyone can hear me talk...I needed a psychology perspective or evaluation and I didn't get that. I am skeptical now about therapy but once I find a good therapist like the one I had in 2019 after my cousin died I will stick with that therapist. I don't feel like I need one right now but at times when life gets hard, I spiral and I have really scary thoughts it would be good to be evaluated during those times. But I do have a support system, I have people I can call at 2am and I know they will pick up if they see my call. I have amazing people in my life they're not a lot but 2 is better than none. I don't call my mom when I am having a depressive episode because she panics and gets very concerned. I don't like making my mom sad, she the best human in the world I want her to stay happy forever...

I do miss my dad, I still replay the last voicemail he left for me. In it he said he loved me and he asked me to take him to get a haircut. He's so gentle and cute...when I see his favorite toothpaste, the bread that he likes, or green grapes I always think of him. When I drive to the places I used to take him I get sooo sad (I don't go to New York or Certain parts in my city because of him. I just can't do it yet. He used to live in new York) I only have one parent and she's not even with me. Oh Jehovah give me more time to spend with my mom I love her so much, if she ever leave me I will be suicidal.

I am not afraid to admit some of my workout sessions are extreme! especially my leg days to the point that now they are no longer fun. My legs have developed a lot, I am seeing muscles in places where I didn't even know existed. There's no need for me to train my legs for 2 hours but I do it, some movements are less challenging and others are very challenging let me explain...

in total you only need 45-60 minutes to train legs but because I am a psycho who loves to torture myself at times I do it for 2 hours! I normally train like that on Saturday mornings. It's brutal I lift heavy, I sweat a lot, I lose my breath, and I feel exhausted by the end of it. I don't workout like that more than once a week because it is not sustainable and I would suffer from muscle fatigue. Now that I started taking creatine I have even more stamina to keep going harder in the gym. When I work out like a maniac I don't do it for muscle growth I do it for my mental health. I need a hard session at least twice a week... I also go hard on Thursday for my back days too. I need a great session to feel good and to want to keep on living a happy life. I am not even sure whether or not my anti depressant medication is working anymore but all I know is the gym is keeping me alive and I need it desperately. I could be crying in the gym parking lot and after a workout I am laughing like an idiot...I all I need is 2 hours in the gym, just give me that and I am the happiest girl in the world. Why Do you think I work out 6 days a week? I don't need to workout this much! I do it for my mental health as well as a nice body.

I am happy with my results and we're only getting better and better :)

If you want to increase deep sleep

Quick wins:

Keep a consistent bedtime
Avoid alcohol close to bed (huge deep-sleep killer)
Sleep in a cool, dark room
Get daytime exercise, but not intense workouts right before bed
Reduce late-night screens / stress spikes

If I die untimely, I want a friend like Candace Owens to investigate my death and find out what happened just like she’s doing now for Charlie Kirk. Her dedication shows how much she loved and cared about Charlie. His own wife has already moved on and worrying more about making an empire instead of trying to find who exactly wanted to assassinate her husband. Candace is not letting these people get away with it, she’s keeping Charlie’s name alive and she’s investigating daily. I love her.

reasons why I am deleting all forms of social media on my phone (Pinterest not included of course). I currently do not have Facebook or messenger on my phone, I deleted my Facebook in 2019 and I never went back. During that time I was happier, I felt calm and refreshed. I didn't have to scroll on Instagram or TikTok for hours before bed or at all so my sleep was uninterrupted and the quality of sleep was even better, I bet I had more deep sleep cycles. Now I spend hours in REM sleep, I am lucky if I spend 30 minutes in deep sleep ugh... You all know how much I love my sleep so that's a big reason!

I hate how much we are all connected. At times after scrolling online for more than 30 minutes I feel overwhelmed and disoriented by all the information I just consumed. I don't need to see the inside of your apartment before I visit you, I don't need to know you went to Europe all summer because when I see you I won't even ask about what you did this summer because I already know! see now our conversation is cut short. I saw everything online already! there's nothing left for me to ask you, except well did you enjoy your vacation?
I don't like sharing everything but it's hard because what do I post on my stories? I only post my cats, my workout and food or drink...I post nice places but only after I left. Every time I post myself I hate it...I hate sharing part of my life with complete strangers who don't even care which is why I stopped accepting new friends request because what's the point I am deleting my social media eventually.
I don't mind when people don't watch my stories because I don't watch theirs either...it gives me a lot to talk about when we connect. I can't even tell you fun facts about myself because you've seen it all! you saw me at the gym! you saw me watching football and being obsessed about Mbappe like you know it all! what else can I share?
People are faking on social media. they fake a smile, post the best parts about their lives and I don't blame them because I do the same! you never really know people on social media because they are faking a persona! they post pictures with filters so you never really know someone until you meet them in person.
comparison is a thief of joy. when you see people travelling, have expensive things you may start comparing your life to them without noticing and now you're feeling bad about yourself! but you're doing amazing but because you compare what you see on social media to your life now you're feeling as if you're not doing enough.
the constant post about being better, glow up and improve yourself will make focus so much on trying to improve rather than just love where you are right now. What is this constant need to evolve? can we just enjoy life? No I don't need that $700 curling iron to make my life better, I can enjoy life just fine without it.

I do believe we were not meant to be sooo connected online. People back in 1970's were happier, they had better focus they read books, their vocabulary was better because they didn't have a rectangulaire device to scroll on all day. women had better self respect, they weren't posing nude online for the whole world to see. women dressed better, held themselves to a higher standards they were not obsessing about men online and worrying about who he's following.
