i saw a girl on tiktok who said "accountability is so important to me. nobody's perfect, but don't try to flip the script & make my reaction the issue when your actions lit the match" felt this to the core.
i grew up walking on eggshells, recognising footsteps, tones. How to tell if someone was in a bad mood and avoid them. I actually learned to study people at a young age. I’m quiet and very observant for a reason. I’ll read you like a book before we even speak
I’m reading Psalms 23 and realizing that David was really just asking God to regulate his nervous system and quiet his anxiety. That language obviously just didn’t exist yet. 🥹
