Re: blorbo from my research, here is my favorite ever case study. I'm obsessed with it.

Summary:

- Guy presents to neurology with muscle issues, very clearly has something going on but diagnostic tests are inconclusive

- History is mostly unremarkable. Key word, mostly. He drinks four liters of plain Earl Grey tea per day. For context this is nearly twice the recommended daily fluid intake. All fluids, to be clear, not just tea. He only drinks tea tho

- Bergamot is known to be phototoxic in high doses (reacts badly on your skin with sunlight)

- APPARENTLY nobody previously has consumed enough of it for it to be widely known that it is also, apparently, mildly toxic to ingest in high doses

- Guy starts drinking plain black tea again. Only 2 liters this time (he didn't have a medical reason to drink that much tea, he just liked it) and so now he's fully recovered

As a girl or woman, raise yourself to be an intellectual. Raise yourself to be a reader, a traveller, a curious explorer. Raise girls who are independent livers and thinkers, who are critical of standard narratives and status quos and societal and religious dogma. Girls and women will never benefit from being naïve, stuck in one place, unaware, ignorant, out of options, close minded etc besides deriving from these states a false sense of safety, but the patriarchy reaps massive profits from afflicting these conditions.

I’m literally too good to settle for less

Some people call it conceited, but honestly, I just call it reality. When you know your worth, when you’ve done the work, and when you’ve refused to settle for anything less than the best, it’s not arrogance—it’s truth. I look at my life and see everything I once dreamed about starting to fall into place. The opportunities, the energy, the people, the lifestyle—it’s all exactly what I’ve always known I deserved.

I’ve spent years working on myself, leveling up, cutting off what didn’t serve me, and aligning with what I knew was possible. People love to act like confidence is a bad thing, but why wouldn’t I be confident? I’ve earned this life, and honestly, I was made for it. I know who I am and what I bring to the table. I deserve the luxury, the success, the love, the respect, the attention—all of it.

The crazy part is, this is just the beginning. I feel like I’m stepping into a new chapter where everything gets bigger, better, and more aligned with who I truly am. The people who get it, get it. The ones who don’t? Well, they’ll watch from the sidelines as I keep thriving.

It’s not about being better than anyone else; it’s about being the best version of me. And I don’t feel bad about that—not one bit. Life is too short to downplay your greatness or shrink to make others comfortable. I deserve everything good, and honestly, I’m just getting started.

If I schedule posts for when I forget about Tumblr exists then it looks like I never forgot and it looks like I post regularly.
