Kourtney K and Travis Barker are newlyweds who live in two separate houses a block away from each other. They’re clearly in love, but they’ll mess around and be married forever off the strength of that alone.

Your self-care has to become like a part-time job. You can no longer be willy-nilly. Take supplements, move your body, manage your mental health, minimize alcohol, advocate for yourself, eat healthily, and get second opinions early + often. Lastly, do not let ppl stress you out!

Between Jidenna and Jeezy, I see the new hustle is rebranding ourselves as a "healed man" after decades of being a menace bc we've been in therapy for a spell and know a few psychological terms to lord over other men + potentially seduce new women. To which I say, do better.
