 Kiss, feel, live\u2026 keep going.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional Fitness<\/strong>\u2014 logic with street smarts, only for advanced players. If this isn\u2019t your league, just find another. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This space isn\u2019t for sermons\u2026 it\u2019s about coexisting in a healthy way and confessing as many uncomfortable truths as possible\u2014ones that make our faces flush\u2014no posing, no guilt, no tired moralizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Engaged to the vibe, married to freedom, divorced from attachments.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days I\u2019ve been dealing with too much drama for my diet. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Folks, I\u2019m not buying the victim role. If you choose to play, play. But if you didn\u2019t study your opponent, don\u2019t show up at this table crying like you\u2019re getting paid for every tear you bet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My diet is simple: low drama, high spice.<\/strong>You know what clinical studies say\u2014sugar kills the heart. \ud83e\udd13 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sorry\u2014not really. Hypocrite? Maybe. But honestly, I never apologize for saying what I think. I don\u2019t get why people even bother making excuses haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mean, okay, I get it\u2014people lie to avoid drama. I\u2019ve done it too. But personally? I like cynicism, haha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At least, if you\u2019re reading this, you know you can come at me straight. I just leave people on read or don\u2019t even open the message if I\u2019m not interested.
But don\u2019t overact\u2014somehow, I specialize in reading people. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hey you! Yeah, you my dear reader, get this, it may be a useful manual\ud83d\udc8b<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They sell you this romantic idea of \u201cyour other half,\u201d and you go through life labeling everyone as \u201cthe one.\u201d The illusions lift you up, you load the other person with expectations\u2026 and then it ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And when the emotional interaction ends, the drama kicks in\u2014you blame, cry, shut down.
Damn! You went from euphoria to the abyss faster than the first ray of dawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I think these are fleeting moments, vibrating at insanely high energy levels\u2014joy to sadness, 100 to 0%\u2014like a device with a busted battery.
I mean\u2026 where\u2019s the self-control? Gone, lost, or left on airplane mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And guess what? Yeah baby, there’s a bear trap!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You get on the plane and jump with no parachute, then blame the parachute for not opening on time\u2014as ifit<\/em>were the villain\u2014instead of noticing the pattern you keep repeating in your pile of failed relationships and asking yourself,why have I broken so much?<\/em> <\/em>  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You go from \u201cmy other half\u201d to \u201cwho are you?\u201d in three episodes.
Damn! What is this, an express telenovela?
How does someone go from your \u201cI love you\u201d to your \u201cAnd you were…?\u201d
The illusion evaporates. The character falls off the white horse and reappears on a black one, starring as “The Mask of Zorro” HAHA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is fun\u2014Someone once dedicatedAntolog\u00eda<\/em>by Shakira to me \ud83d\ude02 <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guys, love is not agreatest hits album<\/em>. \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you really think love is the purest emotion?Or is it just the slickest manipulation tool that hypes up the two most extreme feelings in the catalog?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every new person you meet\u2014you can\u2019t just tie them directly to your expectation or need for them to be \u201cthe one,\u201d… feel me, my friends in general had gotten excited…<\/p>\n\n\n\n


Do you really think that they\u2019re just an unpolished demo the universe throws your way. I can see the scene<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, how romantic!\u201d
BAM\u2014the hook to reel you in\u2014Three songs later (after three dates)\u2014you\u2019re saying,
\u201cWait… the tracklist didn\u2019t play for long. I-I was… I was already opening the chocolate box.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Haha\u2026 inevitable sarcastic laugh \ud83d\ude12<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n


That\u2019s every girls\u2019 night\u2014one goodbye, one new hello\u2014eight hours of Saturday stories. Jeez! \ud83d\ude2e\u200d\ud83d\udca8 Here, more than once, I’ve wished my parachute wouldn’t open \u2014no one learns from someone else’s experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a huge difference between living life knowing emotional interactions are fleeting, training your mind not to hang expectations on someone else \u2014 If you\u2019re gonna wear armor, let it be lingerie<\/strong> \ud83d\ude0fThat\u2019s how you enjoy moments. Then move on to the next one. Period.No drama\u2014just enjoy life because there\u2019s no second round. <\/strong>Expect nothing from the universe. Just vibe positive!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They owe you nothing if they never promised anything and only undressed you\u2026
It\u2019s as simple as slipping on your sneakers, ready to run the next race \ud83d\ude08\ud83d\udcaa<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This advice is straight from my arsenal:<\/em><\/strong>
Live without signing paper or emotional contracts. Your signature is to leave marks on other bodies, not to label everything you touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t mortgage your heart at a variable interest rate. Skin marks are written in kisses\u2014not to track in a mental ledger while your self-love can\u2019t cover the payment. Moments are lived in the skin, not in your head. Plsss.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I think we need to stop dramatizing our bonds\u2014 This isn\u2019t the script for the Final Judgment. You don\u2019t go back to your first love if you\u2019re still caught in the vicious cycle.. Your first love is yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My dear readers, without an emotional exorcism\u2014after the dramatic climax\u2014there\u2019s no mental freedom. \ud83d\ude07<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And no, my friends\u2026 without a purge, there\u2019s no peace. Closure’s impossible without a process.
You leave the flowers at the grave, pop the balloon\u2014the only reflection of the past is what you see in the mirror while applying your lipstick \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only real ritual is the altar to worship your resurrection\ud83d\udc8b\ud83d\udda4\ud83d\udd25 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes people think behavior has an age limit. But who cares if you\u2019re 20-ish or 30-ish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emotional interactions still spark wild feelings\u2026 Just to leave your heart agonizing after one night of passion where you gave away the rest of your decades? Damn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age doesn\u2019t guarantee maturity \u2014and poorly managed desire keeps racking up soul-crushing bills\u2014no matter what your ID says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, folks. You alone directed, starred in, and premiered the movie\u2026without a proper casting for your co-star \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s stop blaming others for the relationship\u2019s failure\u2014we are the guilty ones. It\u2019s as simple as when a chef overcooks the dish\u2014oof, pure technique. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Train that technique inside yourself. Don\u2019t cling\u2014savor \ud83d\ude0b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you blame, it\u2019s a clear projection of your own immaturity onto the other.
No loud self-help. No romanticism with emotional debt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live fast, Feel hard, Don\u2019t keep records in emotional spreadsheets.
Keep enjoying it like your body has no memory and decades don\u2019t leave marks on your skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the trap\u2014when you love like it\u2019s free, you pay interest with your soul. Someone who feels more than they think is predictable, manipulable\u2026 and headed straight for an emotional crash.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I once read a quote that said,\u201cLove is the most beautiful accident.\u201d<\/em>Damn! Whoever wrote that was a masochist. \ud83d\ude40 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friendship is the bonus of relationships.<\/strong>Personally, I think how you are in bed is the real you in life\u2014no alter ego.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started thinking in bed\u2026
Do they secretly rate us every time we hook up with someone?
What if every encounter was like a surprise pop quiz with a hidden grade?
A+, B, D- incomplete\u2026
Imagine them leaving and thinking,
\u201cMmm, solid C+, good effort.\u201d hahaha <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You know\u2026
I think sex is <\/em>a test. How do we know if we passed?How do we know if we\u2019re good in bed? <\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I think sex is like an interview summed up in the clich\u00e9: \u201cDon\u2019t call us, we\u2019ll call you.\u201d <\/strong>Haaaahah \ud83d\ude0e <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I assure you\u2014zip code aside\u2014the rules for sex are the same all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, you entered the game on your own.
Winning or losing is a dual dynamic.
Me? I don\u2019t play for a tie.<\/strong>\ud83d\ude0f <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you play poker? Because it\u2019s just as real. When you bet at the table, bet to win \u2014 You always win when there\u2019s less emotional mess. Opponents will always wear disguises\u2014 No one shows all their cards<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moralities are judged by powers that existed before you were born.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cards I\u2019m showing you are for you\u2014bc I\u2019ve already figured out the game.
These aren\u2019t the cards I play with.
My deck is in a higher league\u2026 and I haven\u2019t met a worthy opponent for my game yet <\/strong>\ud83d\ude08 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Play by the same rules they play with you. Don\u2019t walk around like an expectation junkie.
It\u2019s more fun when you\u2019re just playing to enjoy the game \ud83d\ude0e <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s make a night to remember!\ud83d\udc7d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bye now!<\/strong>\ud83d\udd25 <\/p>\n\n\n
