The Will to Resist

Bonus: How to Love Before the Glow-Up

A Checklist for Those Who Swear They’d “Do It Differently” Next Time

Support her when the dream looks stupid. Before the outfit fits. Before the algorithm notices. If you can’t love the blueprint, you don’t deserve the skyscraper.

Don’t laugh at ambition just because it scares you. It’s not her job to stay small so you can feel big.

Never ask someone to tone down their shine. If her glow blinds you—step back. Don’t dim it.

Encourage. Don't compete. You’re either building with her or standing in the way. Choose fast.

And when she starts to bloom? Stay planted. Don’t disappear just because her petals grew wild.

If you want a glow-up in your life, learn to water the roots before the world starts clapping.

Otherwise? She’ll become someone else's centerfold— and you’ll be stuck writing poems to a future you never earned.
