Currently reading “hold You Down…” by #chocolateBee

Book only had 3 reviews so I decided to read it to be able to leave the author a review. I know how hard reviews are to come by.

Xiomara moved2 Korea for a fresh start, new experiences, new food, & maybe a new version of herself.

But no 1 tells you that even in a different country, ur heart still speaks the same language.Can she embrace the adventure & let herself love again?

This series takes place in South Korea. The cover captures the essence of what you want to read- Black characters, romance, self exploration & culture. The best part? It’s all overseas!

On a side note I saw this clip and I resonated with it so much!

He said the moment you leave the states you sleep. And that literally all we’ve been doing.

My daughter and I were separated from my husband and son on our flight to #korea but it was okay. I made her a tent and she had plenty of snacks.

She had #bluey and “privacy” so she was in Her happy place

My main concern was the long flight. I was nervous they ( 2 & 4) would cry or get antsy during the 14 hour flight. But guess what saved us??

They had #bluey on the plane! Thank you #americanairlines !
They didn’t make one peep

“negative thoughts of quitting are normal. They don’t mean you are weak. They represent your mind trying to protect you “

So this hit and it reminded me of # #DavidGoggins book cause he said the same thing.

Current read because I saw an IG reel and the way this brotha spoke about #Stoicism was so intriguing. Idk what I’m getting into , but the way he spoke made me want to learn more about the subject
