HELLO!!
There’s nothing more magnetic than a person in their power!
What lies hidden in the depths of our actions often resurfaces to haunt us when the light of truth breaks through. The webs of deceit and manipulation may weave a temporary illusion, but when they unravel, we must step beyond the victims edge and claim our truth in accountability, so that we may attract the authentic love we seek.
You don’t need to be more loveable—just more YOU.
The difference is—I’m not in love with love….i am love
Settling will never make the fear and pain go away.
It’s a beautiful skill to master the art of being whoever the moment needs. But don’t ever shrink your own feelings because no one stayed when you got serious about what you need.

There is a certain beauty in having a normal day.
I wake up at 6am, take my two buses at 7, get to look at the beautiful sunrise with headphones in my ears. I enjoy looking out the window, seeing the busy students and workers striding fast to their destinations. Suddenly, everything seems so lovely. Then i arrive at uni to take my morning classes. Different people are becoming friends.. each individual special in his own way; the way they do their hair, or the lipstick they have on.. even the way they do their hijab.. each one of them seem to be truly unique. I get out at 12 and take my buses again, happy to go have lunch with my mum and tell my brother about my day. Sometimes, the routine is changed slightly by buying a croissant in the morning to take it with my café au lait or reading a book in the bus.
When you're comfortable with who you are and who you're becoming, suddenly everyone seems busy with their own lives. I don't focus on the dark side anymore, i don't focus on the illusion of others mocking me. that version of me simply doesn't exist anymore. I'm now unapologetically my true authentic self.
Breaking Free: How Societal Stereotypes Limit Young Women and How to Reframe Those Beliefs
Let's talk about something real: societal stereotypes. From a young age, women are constantly told throughout our lives about who we're supposed to be. We're supposed to be quiet, agreeable, nurturing, and perfect. These stereotypes not only shape how others see us, but they also shape how we see ourselves. These stereotypes can create fixed mindset beliefs that limit our sense of identity and potential.
Think about it:
“I’m not good at math or science.”
“I shouldn’t be too ambitious or assertive.”
“I need to prioritize being liked over being heard.”
Sound familiar? These beliefs aren’t just harmless thoughts. They’re barriers. They tell us what we can’t do, who we shouldn’t be, and where we don’t belong. But here’s the truth: you are not defined by stereotypes.
How Stereotypes Create Limiting Beliefs
Internalization: We absorb societal expectations and start believing they’re true.
Fear of Failure: Stereotypes make us afraid to step outside the box, so we avoid risks.
Imposter Syndrome: We doubt our abilities, feeling like we don’t deserve success.
How to Break Free and Reframe Those Beliefs
Challenge the Narrative
Ask yourself: Who told me I can’t? Why do I believe that?
Replace limiting beliefs with empowering ones: “I am capable of learning and growing in any field I choose.”
Embrace a Growth Mindset
Believe that your abilities aren’t fixed. You can develop skills, overcome challenges, and redefine your identity.
Celebrate effort, not just results. Progress is progress, no matter how small. Even if it's 1%, it still counts towards the 100%.
Surround Yourself with Support
Find mentors, friends, and communities that uplift and inspire you. You can join communities on Tumblr or search for Discord servers you align with.
Share your goals and struggles with people who believe in your potential.
Redefine Success on Your Terms
Success doesn’t have to look like what society says it should. What matters is what you value. This is your life after all.
Do not be scared to take up space. Be bold. Be unapologetically yourself. Live in your authenticity. It is what makes you you.
Take Action, Even When It’s Scary
Start small. Apply for that opportunity, speak up in that meeting, or try something new.
Remember: Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s acting despite it.
You Are More Than a Stereotype
Your potential is limitless, but it’s up to you to claim it. Reframe those beliefs, challenge the status quo, and step into the person you’re meant to be. The world needs your voice, your ideas, and your brilliance. Don’t let anyone (including yourself) tell you otherwise.

I have heard few voices in the community against ai generated art, this is my personal perspective on the topic. But I also invite you to a dialogue - everyone who hates/loves/neutral to ai art in general and particularly on tumblr... Please explain your point of view, I want to understand you better😉

Benefits of ai for an artist in hardest days of disability - I can keep fulfilling my imagination even in days of very low ability to move. Of course when I paint I express something more authentic, but with time I compose prompts that give results that are very close to my imagination - which deeply satisfy and comfort me.
