I didn't think that this would become my personal little ritual. But it was in the middle of the night that I realized that this is how I feel alive - barefoot in the kitchen, with a glass of cold juice and a full moon outside the window.

You can forgive a lot: awkward jokes, a tired look, even a slightly wrinkled shirt after a hard day. But there is something that brings a light but firm "no" to a woman's heart❌ Its name is bad shoes.

You can talk for a long time about fate, circumstances and “wrong times”, but the facts are stubborn: almost every woman today has a skewer in her kitchen. And not just one. Beautiful, stainless steel, with the right sharpening, ready for action 🔥. But there is no man nearby

You may think that a woman’s trust is shown in tender words, in the way she looks at you, or in the way she smiles when she texts you 😊. But there is a deeper and more subtle sign: we let you into our refrigerator 🥬

Let's be honest: women are not always sweet honey 🍯. Especially in the morning. We can be gentle, caring and smiling... but first — coffee ☕️. Until the mug is in hand — we are not angels 😈

We women don't know how to "blink" like a signal on a dashboard 🚥 to promptly tell you that something has gone wrong. We can remain silent, smile 😊, and continue to say simple things — even when something inside is already wrong 💔. And not because we want to confuse someone. It's just that we are not technology, and we don't have a built-in "check system" indicator 🔧

We women no longer want to "educate" you - there is no time for these games. And why? Every adult man is the result of long work by his mother, school and his own choices. Everything has already been educated: habits, tastes, views on the world 😌

If women were cats, the world of online dating would look completely different. Imagine: we would meow, arch our backs 🐈‍⬛, demand respect and... ban for the slightest tactlessness 🙅‍♀️. Not because we are evil, but because in the cat world, they do not tolerate those who stroke against the grain.

They say that true love is fireworks. But it seems to me that it's just hot coffee, your warm palms and nothing more.

Sometimes you meet a person and everything inside you freezes because you understand: you can take your time with them.

There are three things in this world that I allow myself when everything goes wrong. Sometimes they are more important than any deep books on self-development.

When I close the bathroom door, the world washes away with the foam. This is where I talk to myself most honestly — and my skin listens, and the water remembers everything.

Why? Because an ideal is emptiness, a mirage that will never bring true happiness. I realized that something else is much more important - sincerity and joy that we can share together.

Happiness is something far away and unattainable, as if it is hidden in some future, beyond our capabilities.

Have you ever wondered what it really means to “know how to listen”? After all, we often perceive it very superficially — like, just be silent while the other person is talking.

And this makes me wonder what is really more important? Why is honesty so often put in the background, giving way to attractiveness and the ability to win people over?

We are often afraid to show our true selves, worried that someone will not accept us as we are. But this — being yourself — turned out to be the most powerful and honest strategy in a relationship for me.

Perhaps this sounds strange or even a little old-fashioned in our world, where everything moves at the speed of light and everyone wants “quickly and immediately.”

It's amazing - the same morning can start with a joyful smile or, on the contrary, with internal tension, and it all depends on who is around. People are like multi-colored paints that color my emotional state. 🎨

It’s not always easy to remember or admit how much they meant and how much they influenced me, but these are the people who made me stronger.
