Darling, let’s get one thing straight: there is nothing more captivating than a woman who speaks with wisdom and grace. It’s not your Instagram likes or your flawless eyeliner that make you unforgettable, it’s the way your mind engages, the conversations you ignite, and the depth of insight you bring to the table. Yes, your curls may have their own personality, but the most radiant thing in any room is a woman who knows her mind and isn’t afraid to use it for good.

You know what really gets under my skin? When people look at where I am now and say, “Wow, you’re so lucky.” Like I just stumbled into success like some romantic comedy cliché who accidentally falls into a billionaire’s arms. Honey, if luck had anything to do with it, I’d be winning the lottery and sipping fresh-pressed juice on a private island by now. But the truth? The truth is far messier, and so much richer. I’ve failed more times than most people have even dared to try. I say that with love (and maybe a pinch of holy sass)

Life in your 20s is like being handed a blank page and a dozen pens, with everyone shouting different things you "should" write down. It’s exhilarating, overwhelming, and, if we're being honest, messy. Somewhere in this chaos, I’ve realised one thing: emotional intelligence isn’t just a skill… it’s survival.

There’s a particular kind of silence that settles over a city on a Friday night, just as the party crowds begin to buzz and heels click in unison like a ritualistic drumbeat. Somewhere in the distance, champagne corks fly and laughter spills out of blacked-out Ubers. And yet, there I am, cocooned in my flat, hair in a claw clip, robe loosely tied, sipping peppermint tea like it’s Dom Pérignon. Blissfully unbothered.

There’s an undeniable allure to a woman who possesses knowledge, not just the kind that wins pub quizzes (though, if you need a partner who can name every actress from Downton Abbey while casually dropping references to obscure Greek philosophers, I’m your woman), but the kind of intelligence that lingers in conversation, woven seamlessly into the fabric of thoughtful discussion. It’s the quiet confidence of someone who seeks understanding beyond the surface, whose curiosity is insatiable, and whose presence commands attention not through volume, but through substance.
