  I’m still learning how to love something without letting it consume me; how to light candles without burning my house down. It’s a delicate balance—one that many of us struggle with. Love, passion, and dedication can be all-consuming forces, and if we’re not careful, they can become overwhelming. But here’s the thing: you don’t have to lose yourself to love deeply. You can be a badass, boundary-setting, strong, confident, independent person who is also soft, nurturing, kind, and graceful. You can have self-discipline and self-compassion. You can be emotional and tough. You can be everything and anything you want. That is your power. The Art of Balance We live in a world that loves to put people in boxes. You’re either strong or sensitive, confident or humble, ambitious or laid-back. But real power comes from the ability to hold opposing traits in harmony. Think about it: • You can be assertive at work while still being gentle with your loved ones. • You can chase success without ...

Dear Readers, Have you ever wondered what people say about you when you’re not in the room? The answer can reveal everything about the company you keep. True loyalty isn’t about who stands beside you when it’s easy—it’s about who speaks your name with respect when you’re not around. The real ones advocate for you, uplift you, and defend you in spaces where you have no voice. They don’t entertain gossip about you. They don’t betray your trust for temporary approval. Instead, they honor your presence even in your absence. And that kind of loyalty isn’t just about friendship; it’s about character. The Silent Test of Loyalty Loyalty is easy to claim but difficult to prove. Here’s a truth many people overlook: Not everyone who smiles with you stands for you. Some people are only present for the benefits of your company but absent when it truly matters. So, how do you separate the real from the fake? 1. Listen to What’s Not Being Said • If someone can listen to negative talk about you withou...

 March 09, 2025 By Ruby Dalvina Dear Readers, Have you ever been told to “toughen up” or “build walls to protect yourself”? In a world that often values hardness, resilience is mistakenly equated with being unyielding. But true strength lies not in rigidity but in the ability to bend without breaking. Your vulnerability, your softness—these are not weaknesses. They are your hidden strengths. Why Fragility Is Not Weakness Brittle things break under pressure, while flexible things adapt and endure. Nature itself teaches us this lesson—think of a tree in the storm. The branches that are too rigid snap under strong winds, but those that are supple bend and sway, surviving even the harshest tempests. Human emotions work the same way. When we suppress our feelings, refuse to express our pain, or build emotional walls, we become like brittle branches—prone to breaking when life’s inevitable hardships strike. But when we embrace our emotions, allow ourselves to feel deeply, and remain open...

  March 8, 2025 Dear readers, Have you ever felt lonely in a crowded room? Have you ever been surrounded by people, yet felt invisible—like no one truly saw or understood you? If so, you’re not   This quote holds a powerful truth that many of us have experienced but often struggle to put into words. In this blog, I’ll explore why being with the wrong people can feel lonelier than solitude, share real-life examples, and offer valuable advice on how to embrace solitude in a way that brings peace, strength, and self-discovery. Why Being with the Wrong People Feels So Lonely Loneliness isn’t just about physical isolation—it’s about emotional disconnection. When you’re with people who don’t align with your values, who drain your energy instead of uplifting you, or who make you feel unheard, the loneliness can be even more profound than if you were by yourself. 1. Surface-Level Relationships Lack Depth Imagine sitting at a table with a group of people who are talking, laughing,...

➖  Once the rain is over, an umbrella becomes a burden to many. It’s tossed aside, forgotten in a corner, or abandoned at the first opportunity. But for some, an umbrella is more than just a tool for staying dry—it’s a shade from the sun, a cane for support, a shield from harsh winds, an accessory of style, or even a companion through all seasons. ➖ This simple analogy perfectly illustrates how loyalty often works in today’s world. Many people remain loyal only as long as they derive benefit from something or someone. The moment circumstances change, they discard what once protected them, as if it were never valuable to begin with. ➖ Consider a blind person who, after years of relying on a cane to navigate the world, suddenly regains their sight. The first thing they do? Set the cane aside. Not out of malice, but because it no longer serves their immediate need. Yet, that cane was a lifeline—it kept them safe, guided them, and was an integral part of their journey. How People Behav...

By Ruby Dalvina | March 4, 2025 In a dramatic escalation of North American trade tensions, Ontario Premier Doug Ford has announced a potential cutoff of electricity exports to U.S. states, including New York, Michigan, and Minnesota. This move comes in response to President Donald Trump’s decision to impose 25% tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports, a policy expected to raise prices on everyday goods and disrupt economic stability across the continent. Ontario’s Response: Power Cutoff for 1.5 Million U.S. Customers Premier Ford did not mince words when addressing the impact of the U.S. tariffs on Canadian families and businesses. “If he wants to destroy our families, I’m going after absolutely everything,” Ford declared, signaling that Canada would not sit idly by while the U.S. government imposes economic penalties. - Ontario supplies a significant portion of electricity to the U.S. grid, particularly in the Northeast and Midwest. If power exports are cut off, approximately 1.5 mill...

March 4, 2025 Dear Reader, Today, we’re diving into an important truth: You don’t have to force yourself to stay in a place that no longer aligns with who you are.  You Were Not Meant to Fit Everywhere  Some places are not meant for you—not because you are not good enough, but because they were never designed to nurture your growth. Life will often whisper, and then scream, that you are out of alignment, yet many choose to stay, fearing the uncertainty of change. But forcing yourself to remain in an ill-fitting space only delays the inevitable: the realization that you deserve better. “Staying in the wrong place will never make it right. You are not weak for walking away; you are wise for choosing yourself.” — Ruby Dalvina When the Best Left for Something Greater If you feel hesitant about leaving a place that no longer serves you, consider those who have done it before. Some of the most successful people in history did not hesitate to leave when they realized they had outgrow...

By Ruby Dalvina Billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk has never been one to shy away from controversy. Whether it’s revolutionizing the auto industry with Tesla, launching rockets with SpaceX, or turning social media into a real-life episode of Black Mirror, Musk knows how to command global attention. And he’s done it again. As of March 2, 2025, Musk has waded into one of the most heated debates in global politics—America’s role in international alliances. His latest post on X (formerly Twitter) was just two words: “I agree.” The context? A growing movement calling for the United States to ditch NATO and the United Nations, arguing that these institutions are outdated, expensive, and ineffective. With that brief confirmation, Musk has once again set the internet ablaze. The Debate: Is It Time for the U.S. to Leave NATO and the UN? The debate over America’s involvement in NATO (the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the United Nations (UN) isn’t new. But with rising tensions worldwide...

Dear Reader, Have you ever held back from doing something you truly wanted because of what others might think? Have you ever felt your confidence waver because of an offhand remark or a judgmental glance? If so, you’re not alone. But let me share something with you—the moment you become truly confident and secure in yourself, the opinions of others lose their power over you. True confidence is not about arrogance or proving others wrong. It’s about knowing yourself so deeply that external opinions become suggestions, not commands. And today, I want to take you on a journey toward that kind of freedom. The Trap of External Validation • So many people live their lives chasing approval, treating validation like oxygen. But here’s the truth: seeking constant approval is like drinking salt water—the more you consume, the thirstier you become. Here’s a fresh thought for you: “The world will always have an opinion, but your soul isn’t up for debate.” — Ruby Dalvina If you rely on applause to ...
