Put two and two together

means to figure something out by connecting small pieces of information.
Examples:

1- She cleaned the house twice, checked the time every few minutes, and wore the perfume she always saved. You could put two and two together and know someone important was about to arrive.

2- Her father kept asking if she ate, if she slept enough, if she needed anything.
He never said “I miss you,” but she could put two and two together and hear the love behind the questions.

Make do with sth

means to use what you have, even if it’s not perfect or not exactly what you wanted.

Examples:

1- They didn’t live in the same city anymore, so they made do with quick voice notes and short calls — not perfect, but still a way to stay close.

2- Growing up, her family didn’t have much, but they made do with what they had — and somehow, the memories became beautiful.

Take sth lightly

means to not treat something as seriously as you should — to ignore the importance or the weight of a situation.
Examples:

1- She finally gathered the courage to tell someone she wasn’t doing well,
but they changed the subject and said, “You’ll be fine.”
In that moment, she realized they had taken her feelings lightly,
and it hurt more than she expected.

Get your night back

to take control of your evening again and choose rest instead of scrolling or staying up too late

Example:
Get back your night.” Not by staying awake out of revenge… but by choosing rest out of respect for yourself.

Not my finest moment

is a polite, gentle way to admit that you didn’t act your best — maybe you made a mistake, got emotional, felt embarrassed, or didn’t handle a situation well.

Examples:

1- He spilled coffee on himself right before an important meeting
and then accidentally called his boss “Mom.”
Definitely not his finest moment.

2- She snapped at a friend because she was overwhelmed.
Later, she apologized and said,
“That wasn’t my finest moment.

Second nature

it means you can do it easily and automatically — without thinking — because you’ve done it many times. It becomes natural, familiar, almost instinctive.

Examples:

1- There was a time when she had to think about every single verb tense. But now, after months of practice, forming sentences in English feels second nature.

2- At first, she had to remind herself to speak kindly to herself. It felt strange, even uncomfortable.
But slowly — with practice — compassion became second nature: a quiet habit she didn’t have to force anymore.

Don't take it for granted.

means to truly appreciate it — to recognize that it’s valuable, not automatic, and not guaranteed.

Examples

1- Every time someone presses play on this podcast — from a corner of this planet, on a bus, during a walk, or in the middle of a heavy day — that’s something I don’t take for granted. Because with so many voices in the world, you still choose to spend these minutes with me, and that choice and that connection mean a lot.

2- When she understood a sentence in English, she used to struggle with,
She didn’t take it for granted — because every bit of progress is a quiet victory.
