I just opened Psalms 23 and I’m realising that David was really just asking God to regulate his nervous system and quiet his anxiety. That language obviously just didn’t exist yet.
What. A. Read !
I’m in love with this sentence:
“A person's capacity for growth is directly linked to how much truth they can handle about themselves without running away.”
Christianity is the only religion that passes the two tests of A. Having any evidence whatsoever and B. Not obviously being invented to give some guy a harem
I really hope women understand that you can be a wonderful person with a few embarrassing stories attached to your name. Please don’t spend your entire adulthood trying to prove you were never young, confused, impulsive or human.
The narcissist’s end goal isn’t just to make their target look bad, it’s to switch moral places with them.
They want to be seen the way they see their target. And they want their target to be seen as them.
That’s the whole operation. Their MO. Not just damage your reputation — occupy your position. Walk away wearing your innocence while you’re left holding their guilt.
The smear campaign is meant to be an identity swap.
men seek to be enveloped in a mother's unconditional patience and devotion--and view the requirements and demands of adult partnership as threats--bc emotionally theyre still 4-year-olds
nothing is more attractive to me than a man who has outgrown the nonsense and genuinely just wants to make money, build his life and love his woman properly.
I am a firm believer that you never truly know a person until you’ve experienced conflict with them. That’s when you see how they communicate, how they handle discomfort, and who they really are.
And yes, I do believe the friendships you form in your early years are often rooted in proximity, while the ones you form in adulthood are rooted in alignment.
If you're good at making people feel seen, never date someone who isn't curious about you. You'll spend the whole relationship pouring into them and never get filled in return.
