He Bought Me a Book
No one I dated had ever bought me a book before. I never realized how little my significant others in previous relationships had cared for me or my interests until my current partner had bought me a book last month. I even brought this up to him one night laying in bed.

Who Are Friends?
Who Are Friends? Friends are an invaluable treasure in our lives, a gift that accompanies us through every moment, whether bright or dark. Unlike blood relations, the bond with friends is tied not by genetics but by the soul, making it even deeper and more profound. Friends are like a comforting shade, offering cool relief even under the scorching heat of life’s challenges.

She takes no prisoners
These words are not a warning, nor a threat, but a statement of undeniable truth about the woman they describe. She is a force, a whirlwind of strength and determination, unyielding in her pursuit of what she believes is right. She is not easily swayed, nor does she make excuses for who she is or what she does. She does not apologize for her ambitions, her desires, or her refusal to be anything less than the full version of herself. She takes no prisoners because, in her world, there is no room for hesitation, no space for second-guessing. The world is not a place for the faint of heart, and she has long learned that to survive, one must meet it head-on, without fear.

Madison Zhao's Formula for Curating the Perfect Luxe Life
1. Meaningful Experiences Over Material Possessions The first and most important lesson Madison teaches is the value of experience over things. Of course, luxury watches and designer handbags are nice, but they don't bring the same kind of long-term fulfillment that memorable experiences do. Madison herself prioritizes meaningful experiences—whether it's a private dinner with friends in a hidden rooftop restaurant or a spontaneous weekend getaway to a serene location.
