Keep your forgiveness, i'll keep my boundaries.

Image
“ Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace. ” – Mel Robbins What even is forgiveness? A word I genuinely don't understand. ( I mean the actual definition). So I looked it up.: " To stop feeling angry or resentful toward someone for an offence, flaw, or mistake. " That’s a purely internal process, a feeling, a letting go. So why is it treated like something you give to another person? Like some moral handshake to prove you’re the bigger person? Let’s be real: you can release feelings of anger without uttering the word “forgive.” Sometimes, what replaces anger isn't peace - it's contempt. (Yes, I said it. Had to laugh from up here on my soapbox. 🤣) And even if you find yourself stuck in contempt, that energy - that heat can be redirected. Not outward, but inward . Shift the care and emotional investment you once had for that person or situation back into yourself . Use it to rebuild so you can glow bright...

🔒 “Where’s My Money?” Vinted Isn’t Safe for Sellers or Buyers

Image
Your account hits a pay out threshold. You’re locked out. Your money? Withheld 🚫. Support? Silent 🔇. I’m sharing my experience with Vinted because this could happen to anyone. Over a week ago, I received an email from Vinted stating my payout had failed due to a “threshold” being met. Immediately after, I was locked out of my account. The platform instructed me to verify my identity, but I can’t access the identity verification link because I’m locked out. So now: I can’t access my money I can’t verify my identity And I’ve received no help , just generic automated replies Here’s what I’ve done since then: ✅ Submitted my ID and bank statement multiple times ✅ Provided transaction proof ✅ Sent formal complaints to Vinted, including to legal@vinted.co.uk ❌ Received no human response ❌ No confirmation of my complaint ❌ No access to my account or funds ❌ No timeline for resolution I’ve had to research consumer and financial law on my own , because no one will tell me what’s h...

What amount of money could ever truly compensate for your life being torn apart?

Image
If you’ve ever been in a legal battle, you know: no pay-out can ever give back your time, undo trauma, or erase damage to your mental health.Watching the PostOfficeScandal victims on BBCNews this morning📺 and for these: ⛓️ No cheque takes away nights spent in prison wrongly accused.  💸 No compensation erases bankruptcy .  🏠 No £ restores the career you built or returns your home.  💔 Nothing reverses the heartbreak of a divorce - the social isolation; who could really understand unless you’re literally walking the same road? 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️ The problem: you won’t meet those ‘new friends’ for another two decades ⏳. So buckle in, toughen up - it's a long journey you have to travel alone. 3,700 people are still waiting for redress 🐢. The Horizon system was introduced in 1999. Imagine reliving this for decades & still being stuck halfway through ⏸️. To discuss this over & over. Psychologically, have you really moved on? Can you, without seeing this through? It must ...

Behind the brand: My costly experience with Tallow + Ash 👎

Image
As consumers, we’re increasingly drawn to brands that claim to align with our values; ethical, customer-focused, thoughtful. That’s why I was excited to try Tallow & Ash, a company that presents itself as modern, conscious, and ingredient-aware. Sadly, my experience was the opposite. One of their products advertised as “safe on all fabrics” permanently stained brand-new blinds in our new home. I reached out expecting a responsible response. What I eventually received was a 30% discount on a future purchase 🤔, followed by silence when I asked how that addressed the actual damage caused by their products. It wasn’t until I left a public review that they replied apologetically and publicly asking me to contact them directly to “make things right.” (why wouldn't you just contact me ?) I did reach out (again). Still ..Nothing?! (why is my serious issue still being ignored?) This shines a light on an important distinction: customer-centric companies act ethically even when no one is...
