Girl, Delulu is Not the Solulu – Having Faith Is.

If you’ve been anywhere on the internets, you’ll see the common phrase popping up in recent months that Delulu is the Solulu. Translation? Being delusional is the key to solving your problems and achieving your goals. It’s all fun and games, but honestly? I don’t quite subscribe to this message. And trust me, I get it. I’m all for pursuing your wildest dreams (look at me – I’m a full-time content creator. ), but why must we do it under the guise of being delusional? Why is it so crazy to believe something good can happen for us? That our wildest dreams can come true? I feel like it’s almost demeaning to ourselves, a slap in the face, if you will. The definition of delusional is literally “characterized by or holding false beliefs or judgments about external reality that are held despite evidence to the contrary” – essentially believing things that are not true. I think as women, we already get enough slack as it is. We shouldn’t diminish our hopes and dreams into delusional thinking. They are worth taking seriously. We are worth being taken seriously. 

So no… delulu is not the solulu.

Having faith is. 

Faith, rather, is having a strong belief in the possibility that something might happen or that it will happen. 

That’s the kind of positivity and light I want to shine over my dreams and goals. Not that I was so crazy to think it was real, but rather I believed in it so much that I worked towards making it a reality. I believed it was possible, so I already acted as if it were mine and that it was achievable. 

I’d rather be grounded in faith than lost in wishful thinking. Faith empowers us to move forward with intention, resilience, and purpose. So as you chase your dreams, let it be with conviction and trust in yourself—not because you’re delusional, but because you know you’re capable.
