This is the reality for so many young children. This is why I get livid when people act like the adult woman in an abusive r/ship is just as vulnerable as the children. The children in abusive r/ships often become parentified, thinking they’re supposed to be their mother’s savior

you can literally wake up one day and be like “actually, fuck everything ab my past and the self-sabotaging identity i had” and decide to live an entirely new life and be someone who always fucking wins. it doesn’t take a feeling or breakthrough moment or epiphany. only a decision.

Might sound like a stretch, but for all its flaws, religion exists because of people like this.

They have no intrinsic desire to hold themselves to consistent standards of integrity. In fact, it is a shackle they’re eager to shed. They can only be herded with carrots & sticks.

it is an unwritten rule of life that after every prolonged period of hardship and uncertainty, there is going to be a period when you are going to achieve quantum leaps across multiple areas of your life. the only requirement is that you do not give up on yourself.

"Why would I be a loser in my own reality?" - This has to be my favorite saying.

some exes are so despicable you got no choice but to pretend it never happened and charge it to the game

[Chawanna @DrChaeEd]

I intentionally burn bridges because I believe wholeheartedly in my ability to succeed no matter what, and I’m never putting myself in a position to need anyone who harmed me.

What many don’t want to acknowledge is that the burden of immigration (illegal or legal) often rests on the shoulders of the poor.

They need to compete for access to schools, clinics, water, electricity, housing etc.

Since I’m in energy, I’ll use load reduction to illustrate.

one of my red flags is the inability to act normal until a conversation is had or an apology is given idc

Try being upper middle class as a child and seeing in real time, your family falling into poverty.

No amount of chemistry can make up for a lack of emotional safety.

[GINA NÄUMAN • جینا نعمان @entertheunseen]

This is why I revoke access to folks who mishandle my kindness. Kindness is the bare minimum. You are a very sick & twisted person if you assume kindness means you’ve conquered someone or established some type of power play — ironically, this is how you announce your inferiority.

A gift of discernment is wild because you can have zero evidence on what is going on, but you still know what is really going on

bell hooks is a ~controversial~ figure but she cooked when she said a lot of people do not want to deal with the fact that they were not treated lovingly as children and are trying to reconcile that dynamic with what they understand to be love

i saw a tik tok arguing that trad wives exist, in part, bc many women don’t want the burden of freedom & i agree. freedom is hard. being responsible for your own livelihood, next meal & survival is terrifying. adulthood requires competence and competence is uncomfortable to build

[Wow, He’s Tsonga! @_aboihasnoname]

Due to unforeseen events in the past, i am not scared to lose anyone.

Turns out cutting off people who secretly hate you does wonders for your mental health.

I’ve never looked at someone being kind and thought “you’re weak, let me take advantage of you.” Like wtf is that fr
