The worst way to get rid of an emotion is to try to get rid of it
Every so often, I'll experience some "unsettling" feeling that could be subjectively labeled as anxiety or stress
In the past, I'd let my mind interpret that sensation as a "bad" thing. I shouldn't feel this way. I need to figure out how to not feel this way
The problem with this approach was that by "reacting" to it, it became a threat. By needing to "do something" about it, it suddenly gets interpreted as danger
Paradoxically, this actually increases the frequency and intensity of said emotion. Every time it comes up, I have to escape it, which perpetually puts me in a state of anticipation for the next time it happens
Now, I just don't do anything. I stopped caring about how I "feel" altogether. All I know is that if I feel "lighter" on my feet most of the time, everything is fine. The moments where I don't feel that way, I just chalk it up to being human
The conversation in my head goes something like, "Alright, my chest is a little tight. Not breathing as smoothly. Ok interesting" and then I just keep going about my day
I've found that by simply acknowledging it without judgement, like "oh that's there," and then keeping it moving, it just disappears on its own naturally. It's no longer "wrong" to feel it, so you don't have to run away from it anymore
You won't even consciously realize it either. Hour later, you're back to "normal" and you don't even know when that transition happened
It was all because of your own perception around the meaning of the emotion, and the meaning is that it means nothing
You fail
You learn the lesson
You go again
You fail, again
You learn a new lesson
You go again
You f*ck up, AGAIN
You learn another new lesson
That makes 3 different lessons
You go again
You win
You try and go bigger
You fail…
It’s a never ending loop
Deal with it
I just laugh at things when they don't work out these days
Nothing is ever the end of the world and a newer, better opportunity is always around the corner

⁃ THEY TRIED TO INJECT IT WITH 2014 FEMINIST WOKE TALKING POINTS, BUT IT WAS ALMOST A BAIT AND SWITCH TO APPEASE THE STUDIOS (VERY META BC THE MOVIE HAD SOME JOKES ABOUT HOW THE MATTEL EXECUTIVES CARE ABOUT THE WOKE AGENDA, BUT IN REALITY THEY DON'T)
⁃ THE WOKE STUFF WAS THE LEAST PERSUASIVE ASPECT OF THE MOVIE, SAME WITH THE WOKE CHARACTERS. ALMOST MADE THEM INTO A MOCKERY (SUBTLY / ACCIDENTALLY?)
⁃ THE MOVIE CARES ABOUT AESTHETICS AND BEAUTY
⁃ IT'S THE FEMALE VERSION OF THE FIRST MATRIX
⁃ IT WAS MORE ABOUT KEN THAN BARBIE - HE WAS THE FUNNIER AND MORE INTERESTING CHARACTER - HE HAD AN ARC - WHY? MEN ARE MORE INTERESTING EVEN IN A BARBIE MOVIE. (AND BARBIE WAS TOO BUSY TRYING TO "FIND HERSELF")
⁃ IMAGINE WHAT THE AMY SCHUMER MOVIE WOULD HAVE BEEN ABOUT. A GIRL WISHES HER BARBIE TO COME ALIVE, AND WELL, YOU KNOW THE REST
⁃ SOMEHOW, IN A MOVIE THAT COMPLAINS ABOUT "THE PATRIARCHY," IT ACCIDENTALLY MADE IT LOOK VERY FUN AND APPEALING. IT DIDN'T UNDERSTAND DUDES IN GENERAL
⁃ BARBIE WORLD (FEMINISM) GOES BACK TO NORMAL (BEING A FANTASY), BUT REAL BARBIE WOULD RATHER LIVE IN THE REAL WORLD (THE PATRIARCHY)
⁃ THE NORMIES WILL LOVE IT BC IT'S VERY "DEEP". I'LL LOVE IT, BC IT'S FUNNY, AND KEN IS LITERALLY ME
⁃ ULTIMATELY, IT LOOKS GREAT, AND IT'S FUNNY. THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING THIS FUNNY AND FUN IN A WHILE
⁃ WE USED TO LAUGH AT (AS RECENTLY AS 5 YEARS AGO) HOW UNFUNNY FEMINISTS WERE BC THEIR GOAL WAS TO KILL THE JOY IN LIFE. THE RIGHT HAS ASSUMED THE POSITION OF PROFESSIONAL KILLJOYS
⁃ LITTLE GIRLS WON'T WALK AWAY AS FEMINISTS. THEY’LL WALK AWAY WANTING TO BE PRETTY
Never look back, keep moving forward. That's what inertia is, forward momentum. That's how you need to roll everyday. Small wins daily, set you up for the big wins. Wins come in all forms. A fucking crazy workout. The best 2 day detox. Mastering a new book. Discovering a new passion.
Pushing your mindset to the next level. Eliminating limiting beliefs. Creating new alchemy. It can be anything. Just go all in, never stop, and enjoy your accomplishments.
Anyone telling you Satan’s end game is about worldly control/dominion is either deceiving you, or is deceived themselves.
Satan is already the god of this world. 2 Corinthians 4:4.
Satan’s end game is not about worldly dominion, but rather spiritual deception over God’s people, as it has always been.
This is why he masquerades as an Angel of light.
His wolves in sheep’s clothing likewise masquerade as disciples of God.
This is why the key to resisting his schemes is strong spiritual discernment.
If you are trusting in man, you have already been deceived. Turn your faith back onto the Great Hope of Christ’s Return.
Man and this world are fallen, and will be until Christ Returns. Those who endure unto the end will be saved, as it is written.
God bless you all.

This too is meaningless”
