    "People are not upset at structure inequality because they envy the position of the oppressor." Wheew 🔥🔥

      Man. The way these girls’ minds work is just something to behold. Been single & healing intentionally for 2 years after a 15 yr relationship ended. Have now opened myself to men for the last few months & the comment I keep getting is your intelligence scares me. I don’t think I can keep up. Who knew that was even a thing. Now, imagine these girls!! 👀

    Influencer culture is such a fan to the flame of consumerism. Even in small things like, Why do you need a new outfit for every event? It’s okay to repeat the dress. It’s proof that it’s yours. 😅. I’m mostly talking to myself. Chile. We’ve got work to do.

      That's why we wash clothes sis! Haha, we're all working on it!

      You’re very right! But I think a lot of them rent their clothes/return them after a photo tbh. There’s no way they keep all of that

    That first class thing is FACTS! I had a debate with people that couldn’t believe that flying is a luxury. Hopping on any flight is a LUXURY!

  • @Meganyeni
    @Meganyeni Год назад +12

    And also I legit gave up on the lux girl aesthetics. It felt like no matter how hard I tried I never quite get the baddie, high quality pic aesthetic down. Now I realized it’s because it is not who I am. Why would I be good at trying to be something (or someone) I’m not? I’m glad the social media veil is lifting and people are now starting to become okay with who they are.

    You guys should do a dilemmas edit video of all the dilemmas you've ever answered. Something like a yearly round up, could be really cool. I would definitely watch

    • @tomysisters
      @tomysisters  Год назад +3

      That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion ♥

  • @Oyinks_

    For the sister from the dilemma,
    Last year I felt very similar to you. I was in a job that I was good at and, while it wasn't bad, the pay wasn't great and it bored me. I also knew it wasn't the field that I needed to be in. Like you, I had also never dated, and I work from home so I just felt so lonely and unfulfilled all the time. This year I have made strides to change things and while the details haven't changed (I'm still single and working at the same job), I feel so much more fulfilled with my life because I started to fill it with things that I love.
    As Courtney suggested, I started doing creative projects (just for fun), which has given me something challenging that I'm passionate about to focus on. I also prayed a lot about how I felt about my current job and how I wasn't sure what I was looking for, and God recently put the idea of a new career path into my heart. I only just started applying so I don't know what the process of starting this new career path will be like but just having this (honestly vague) idea/dream has brought me so much joy and given me something to be excited about. Finally, I have been filling my life with community more: I've been more diligent about reaching out to friends and spending time with them, and I also started volunteering which has given me a purpose outside my job. (Maybe I'll also actually meet someone now that I leave my house 😂)
    I don't know if any of these things will help you but I do strongly suggest them. If nothing else, I'm a testimony that the feeling of hopelessness and the idea that you have nothing to offer can (and WILL) leave.

    Courtney was preaching at the end about the prosperity gospel! It really convicted me about my heart posture towards God and my relationship with Him! My earthly dad only really shows his love for me by giving me money and gifts so I subconsciously started seeing my Heavenly Father this way when it's completely different! Thank you so much for this wake-up call and happy birthday!!! You're like an internet big sister and I really appreciate your advice! God bless both of you beautiful and wonderful ladies! 💞

  • @PT-zz9ks

    I was in this position job wise a few years ago. My biggest piece of advice is be willing to move. For the relationship, men generally don't care that much about how much you are actually making but more about what you have to bring to the table overall including your degrees, experiences, attitude and looks. You have a lot to offer so stay confident in that and what is meant to happen will happen.

    When we fall into the mindset of believing that what we accumulate equates to our self-worth, it can be such a dangerous way to function. Yet, so many of us do that. We rate and judge others based on their clothing. This is not to say that you should not be decent in public. However, our value is not based on what we can acquire but our self-worth comes from us. Knowing who we are, valuing ourselves for our own individual journey and that aspect of all being children of God which makes us all worthy.

    That “I am a vessel, I am nothing, do with me whatever you please” talk Christians use has always rubbed me the wrong way but I couldn’t really put into words why. Glad you ladies brought it up.

    Currently something I'm struggling with as I grow spiritually this something I realized I really need to work on. I didn't think this would be something that I would be struggling with but when you are no longer living for self it's challenges like these that help you build a stronger relationship with Jah but all strengthen your faithful so that you can be faithful in other areas in your life along the road to life.

    So Good ! This reminds me of *"The Parable of the Rich Fool"* in the bible *(Luke12)* : 14 Jesus replied, “Friend, who made me a judge over you to decide such things as that?” 15 Then he said, “Beware! Guard against every kind of greed. Life is not measured by how much you own.”
    16 Then he told them a story: “A rich man had a fertile farm that produced fine crops. 17 He said to himself, ‘What should I do? I don’t have room for all my crops.’ 18 Then he said, ‘I know! I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones. Then I’ll have room enough to store all my wheat and other goods. 19 And I’ll sit back and say to myself, “My friend, you have enough stored away for years to come. Now take it easy! Eat, drink, and be merry!”’
    20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’
    21 “Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God.”
