iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Instead of being obsessed with having an #anxiousattachment what would it look like to obsess over building your dream life?

There’s a difference between wanting appreciation and needing it. When your confidence depends on external praise, your peace becomes fragile. When it comes from within, your energy becomes magnetic. Self-validation is not pride. It’s protection.

This report says Gen Z is in a “romance recession.” I think: 1) There’s nothing wrong with focusing on building yourself in your 20s. 2) Technology (like video calls) can allow for a vibe check for free before going on a date. 3) The pandemic stunted growth. Many Gen Zers struggle w/social skills.

Half of Gen Z spends $0 a month on dating thanks to a ‘romance recession’

With a high cost of living, mounting student-loan debt and job-market instability, dating isn’t a priority for much of Generation Z. Instead, it’s a financial burden.

A survey done last year found half of office workers have engaged in an office romance. And @businessinsider.com says Gen Z workers in particular hope RTO policy will improve their love lives. www.businessinsider.com/return-to-of...

Shiny Happy People on Netflix reaffirmed my issues with purity culture. It teaches girls shame for advocating for themselves, and calls silence “godliness.” “Christian dating” will continue to be a mess until we move away from shame and focus on emotional intelligence, boundaries and discernment.

“Soft life” doesn’t mean sitting still and doing nothing. It means having peace by using discernment and standards to make wise moves for your life.

It’s a balancing act. As a woman trying to live a softer life, working out helps me be more present & grateful for what my body can do. As a recovering overachiever, it’s hard not to seek external validation and compare myself to the woman next to me.

My therapist, though he believes this shit will just blow over eventually, said to me: “your body is having a rational and instinctual response to a perceived threat. You are not crazy at all.”

Ever catch yourself thinking, "Why does everyone else have the life I want?" It’s tempting to hustle non-stop to keep up—but patience is a virtue. Taking a step back to work on you isn’t a set back. It’s a set up for an aligned life without the stress. The right things come at the right time.

I believe that setting and enforcing boundaries is an act of faith. It’s me trusting that I was created to be healthy, whole and free instead of burned out, burdened and resentful.

Boredom can be good! If you grew up in an unstable environment or have had unhealthy relationships, you may think chaos = love. The truth is boredom = consistency. Boredom = a regulated nervous system. Create excitement by doing new things together, instead of expecting a roller coaster of emotions.

The Super Bowl is (supposed to be) a cultural moment. “Not Like Us” is a cultural moment. I can’t imagine Kendrick not performing at least a snippet of the song.

Keshia Rice @keshiarice.bsky.social · 03/02/2025

Self-love involves accountability. Not everyone was raised to believe a healthy relationship, or financial abundance, or peace of mind were possible. That’s understandable. But after a certain age, it’s on you to learn, heal, and find mentors and support to break generational curses and live better.

I don’t think TikTok is gone in the US for good. But now is a great time to be more intentional about our relationships IRL. On New Year’s, I made calendar notes to check in more on friends via text, phone call, video chat, etc. How do you plan to be more intentional with relationships?

Your relationships suck because you spend too much time auditioning for dates, friends, mentors, employers, etc so everyone will like you. When was the last time you held the “auditions” and questioned if these people and opportunities were truly aligned with you?

I’ve seen so much talk about detachment lately, and wanted to make a quick PSA. Protecting your peace doesn’t mean becoming ice cold and not caring about anything. It means being more intentional about who and what you care about, and being clearer on when you’re willing to walk.

Content creation is a cesspool, with everyone copying each other. I think there will be a lot of legal action on this topic in the next couple of years.
