I genuinely don’t understand people’s almost constant desire to give unsolicited advice in an attempt to Hulk smash my life journey into a shape that looks more like theirs.
And the people that want to give me the most unsolicited advice are always people who aren’t impacted by my life choices.
This doesn’t mean I’m not open to constructive criticism, I am. But that’s for things like: I accidentally offended you or you’re correcting misinformation I’ve shared.
Examples of things I don’t want unsolicited opinions on:
- You think grillz are low class (I hear that racism 😉)
- How terrible it is that I’m 30 & unmarried — implying I should break up w/ my partner since he hasn’t proposed
- I need to hurry up & get a job b/c it’s been months
I love my grillz. I’m in nooooo rush to get married and I don’t know if I want kids. These months off have been one of the best gifts I’ve ever been able to give myself & I technically could take the next 5 years off work without running out of money. I’m happy.
Right on time. Image

It's officially been 3 months since I decided to take a break from working, and let me tell you...this has been one of the best decisions I've ever made and taking time to simply exist (outside of finding my next perfect role) has forever changed me.
Some folks have asked what I've learned so far and instead of responding individually, I wanted to do a "one for all".
On my sabbatical, I have been reminded why I pursue money/my career. I used to think it was to live a lavish life. Now I know it's the freedom to do what I want. To take months off work, take care of my mom if she's sick, spontaneously travel, simply exist, whiskey hunt, etc.

If a candidate doesn't show up to an interview, and they don't have a solid excuse other than "It slipped my mind", how big of a red flag is that to you?
Sometimes it's hard to strike a balance between extending grace and being foolish lol But I found this convo amongst friends to be interesting and was curious to know what my twitter fam would think.
It’s getting hard for me to keep up with replies...the lack of apology is what made me hesitant to move past it. I still rescheduled the interview, but he never apologized about ditching me the first time. Followed with the “it slipped my mind”.
