The real flex is raising your emotional intelligence so toxic people can't play mind games with you, remembering exactly what happened so narcissists can't gaslight you, and saying no without explaining yourself so manipulators can't change your "no" to "maybe" or "yes".
The older you get, the more you realize who your true friends are. It's not always about who has known you the longest, it's about who makes you feel seen, heard, understood, appreciated, supported and loved.
In the very first step of playing your opposites, you will come to see that what you love or despise in others are only the qualities of your own Shadow. It is not an affair between you and others but
between you and you.~Ken Wilber, Meeting the Shadow [ed Connie Zweig]
Those expecting you to be excited about something way before it happens is amateur. Walking around with all that tension in your body? No! Not to mention heavy rumination on excitement just sets up rigid expectations that are likely to hurt later. #belikewater
@ThaStormFather @SeanRossSapp He knows how to shoot and work #fact Please don't overgeneralize about the moral integrity of those who are catch wrestlers. Just as many dickheads, and liars as any other strong style. It's rude to those of us who strive to be good people and want to crank necks for fun.
My goodness.
Listening to Ms. Janie, I could hardly keep it together. I thought about that 11 year old child. I thought about my own daughters.
This attack on our rights and freedoms is inhumane. We have to stand together and take our future back.
