What gets me about Michelangelo isn’t the ‘genius’ label people throw around ... it’s the way he actually lived.
This man was so dedicated it was borderline unhealthy 😭. Like, he really slept in his damn clothes for days because he didn’t want to waste time getting ready. His boots were on for so long the skin literally peeled off when he finally took them off ...that’s a true story.
when he was working on the Sistine Chapel ceiling? Bro didn’t even want the job. He kept saying ‘I’m a sculptor, not a painter,’(he would get mad if you called him a painter before sculptor and beat yo ahh) but the Pope basically forced him. And instead of half assing it, Michelangelo spent four years on his back, paint dripping into his eyes(some say that he lost partial vision) , barely eating, barely talking to people .. just grinding.
He even wrote in a letter that his beard was pointing to the sky😂😂, his spine was messed up, and he felt like an old man even though he was in his 30s.
Another real thing: he used to roam the quarries himself, picking out his marble like he was choosing a soulmate...He said he could ‘see’ the statue trapped inside the stone and it was his job to free it.
the Pietà? He carved that when he was only 24. Twenty. Four. I REPEAT TWENTY FKIN FOUR And when people started saying someone older must’ve made it, he snuck into the church at night and carved his name into the sash. Only time he ever signed anything , out of pure pride and spite 😭.
That’s what I love about him. He wasn’t perfect, he wasn’t peaceful ... he was tired, messy, stubborn, passionate, dramatic… a real human being who just refused to stop creating.
And all of that actually happened.
And then there’s me… sitting here in 2025, crying my whole ahh out because with all this technology, all these shortcuts, all these ‘advancements,’ I still struggle to finish one simple task.
Sometimes I catch myself wondering what someone like Michelangelo would’ve done if he lived in our century , with everything we have now. Would he go even crazier with his art? Or would he look at us and be like, ‘Y’all really giving up already?’
I swear, thinking about that man’s dedication makes me feel both useless and inspired at the same time.
The best biography of Michelangelo IMO

if you care about something enough, you don’t just do it, you live in it. You bleed for it. You become it.

Don't ever share your weak side with others🤫...they'll just blow it out of proportion. Keep it 💪to yourself and work on making it better. Instead, whenever you get the chance, tell people how much you love the things you have, even if they're not everyone's cup of tea🤦♀. Believe me, once you accept and embrace what you've got, others won't have a choice but to love it too💃💃"

My earpad goes battery low…
So I’m just walking, minding my business, thinking about free will like some philosopher.
Then out of nowhere, this pretty girl shows up in front of me.
I’ve known the direction for 4 years straight… but my brain decides to malfunction and ask her anyway.
She says, “I’m heading there too.”
Cool. Destiny activated.
But here’s the plot twist:
My free will disappears like WiFi when the power goes out.
I suddenly SHOUT: “You’re pretty as hell!”
Crowd turns.
Old mamas start praying.
One “wede geta nu?” guy freezes in 144p. 😭😭
She gets shy.
Then I drop the cringiest line of the century:
“Zare chereka yelechma? Kenu snt new?”
She says yes.
Me: “Anchin tekta new.”
Why? I don’t know. Ask free will.
I ask for her number in the taxi.
She gives me a FAKE one.
My dum ahh calls immediately like a scammer doing verification.
“Lemin siliksh ayteram?”
She sighs: “Eski koy lew.”
Gives me the real number.
One dude was watching EVERYTHING.
Like a Netflix audience member.
Start to finish. No skipping.
On my way back…
I accidentally meet him again.
He goes, “Bro… I know her. We were classmates. You did good.”
At that moment even one arogit started megelameting my ahh 😭😭
After the whole saga…
I finally understood why I don’t use my free will.
But damn… it was one hell of a journey 😂😭

I honestly thought I was going to spend the next week building an API.
You know the drill: set up an Express server, connect Mongoose, write Schemas, debug connection errors, cry a little...
Then I tried Supabase.
I literally just pasted two API keys into my phone, wrote one line of code:
supabase.from('donations').insert({ amount: 50 })
And... it worked.
The data is there. Secure. Saved.
I’m sitting here waiting for the catch. Where is the hours of configuration? Where is the "Connection Refused" error?
It’s honestly scary how fast this was. I feel like I skipped a grade in school.( A lil dramatic I know 😁)
If you are a frontend dev scared of the "Backend" monster.. just use Supabase. It’s like having a Senior Backend Engineer in your pocket who does all the hard work for you.
We finally have a brain for the app. 🧠✨
