I'm so close but I give up...

This has taken so much of my time and it feels useless. I found out too late and I've been grinding this dang challenge for so long. I went crazy posting at first and was so proud of myself for having stories to tell. But then I feel like I ran out and every 45 whatever points i presses that freaking button and got NOTHING out of it. Out of the 781 points nothing. I'm starting to think it's faje. I guess I'm just being a sore loser. #storytime #lemon8contest

How to stay close to God during school.
It can be really hard to stay close to God during school. We have so many distractions and we are so busy. But we need to make rime for God. Something I learned in church is that before school starts we need to make it a habit to do a daily Bible study or pray to God. It is important to do that so

Text on a modern art gallery background suggests stopping analysis of past messages and focusing on actual behavior for grounded clarity, not interpretation.
Stop waiting for closure - give it to yourself
Most women don’t struggle because they don’t understand what happened. They struggle because it feels unfinished. And that feeling is what keeps the loop open. When someone ghosts you, they already gave you an answer: 👉 they chose not to continue 👉 they avoided accountability 👉 they were
