Pink Aura Diaries Presents:Homegirl, Put Your Mascara On and Keep It Moving — Fuck That Shit. Part 2: You’re Built for Better — Not That Bare-Minimum Bullshit.

Introduction

At some point, you stop calling it patience.
You stop calling it loyalty.
You stop calling it love.

You finally call it what it is — you settling.

Not because you didn’t deserve more.
But because you forgot for a moment just how powerful you really are.

This part of the series is your reminder that bare minimum energy does not belong in a life that’s meant to be iconic. You weren’t built for crumbs. You weren’t designed for halfway effort. You weren’t created to beg for what should come naturally.

You’re built for better.
Period.

Standards Aren’t Attitude — They’re Self-Respect

Somewhere along the way, women were taught that having standards meant being difficult. That asking for consistency meant being needy. That wanting effort meant expecting too much.

That’s a lie.

Standards aren’t attitude.
Standards are alignment.

When you stop settling, you don’t become cold — you become clear.
Clear about what you will accept.
Clear about what you will no longer entertain.
Clear about what your future deserves.

Because the truth is simple:
anything that requires you to shrink isn’t love — it’s compromise disguised as comfort.

You don’t need to lower your expectations to keep people comfortable.
You need to raise your standards to protect your peace.

You Don’t Need More Effort — You Need Better Energy

You don’t need someone who shows up when it’s convenient.
You don’t need someone who loves you in theory but not in action.
You don’t need someone who says the right things but never does the right ones.

You need consistency.
You need clarity.
You need effort that matches your energy.

And when something doesn’t meet you there?
You don’t beg.
You don’t chase.
You don’t explain.

You move on.

Not out of bitterness — but out of self-respect.

Because the woman you’re becoming doesn’t negotiate with mediocrity.
She outgrows it.

CTA

If this part hit a nerve, that’s not discomfort — that’s growth.

Share this with a woman who keeps giving gold to people offering pennies.
Save it for the days you feel tempted to settle just to feel chosen.
And come back for Part 3 — because once you raise your standards, your whole life starts upgrading.

Journal Prompt

Where in your life have you been accepting the bare minimum — and what would change if you finally demanded better?
Write the truth, not the version that sounds nice.

Closing

You were never asking for too much.
You were just asking the wrong people.

You’re built for better days.
Better love.
Better energy.
Better everything.

So stop dimming your light to make mediocrity feel comfortable.

Raise your standards.
Fix your crown.
And remember:

You don’t beg for better — you move like you deserve it.
