Can we talk about how exhausting it is to be emotionally intelligent in situations that don't deserve your understanding. To see everyone's perspective when nobody is extending the same courtesy to yours. To regulate your reactions while others express everything without filter or consequence. To be the bigger person so consistently that nobody even acknowledges it requires effort. Emotional intelligence is a gift.
sometimes i accidentally accept the bare minimum trying to be considerate of what others are going through and that is a habit i need to let go of expeditiously
Someone once said, "Next time you feel nervous about stepping outside your comfortzone, remind yourself "I feel fear because it's new, not because I can't do it.
And I felt that.
The love you receive from someone who knows how to be alone is the most sincere there is.
A solitary soul loves you by choice, not out of a need for company.
I’m so burned out and depressed that I feel like I’m regressing as a person. I’ve lost my ability to communicate and genuinely connect with others. I’m so focused on surviving and staying safe in a chaotic world that I’ve forgotten how to socialize or enjoy life. My personality feels muted, my hobbies are gone, and I feel like an empty shell trapped in survival mode instead of truly living. && I hate it here
there is nothing that reveals a person’s character faster than how they show up or don’t when someone they claimed to care about hits their lowest point. leaving in that moment is its own kind of cruelty.
i have met people who are so deeply self aware that it almost becomes its own weight. they know exactly what shaped them, exactly what sets them off, exactly where the hurt lives. but knowing and healing are not the same thing and carrying that level of self knowledge without the right support can feel very isolating.
i understand that my body can’t digest corn or whatever. that’s fine. my issue is that i fucking chewed it. how the hell is it coming out back in the shape of corn. what are they not telling us
"NYC is now doomed after electing Zohran Mamdani" in the past 48 hours, Zohran Mamdani:
- Secured the release of a Columbia student detained hours ago by ICE with one phone call to Donald Trump
- Cleared every single sidewalk and bike lane after 18 inches of snow and paid temp workers 4x the national minimum wage
- Hosting rental rip-off hearings across NYC to give tenants across the city a platform to air their grievances
We learned our lesson. This is EXACTLY what we voted for, actually.
