I really want everyone to find people and spaces where they're cared for deeply. Not merely performative gestures and speeches for social media, but genuine friendship, companionship, and love that doesn't require you to do anything but be authentic and grow.
Becoming less reactive is a big part of growth and decreasing stress. Sometimes this type of avoidance can be looked at as lack of interest or uncaring, but it isn't. If you let everything get you worked up, you're damaging your mind, body and soul.
Being 10 years old and making your debut in epigenetic trauma research all because you noticed your caterpillars still loved you after becoming butterflies is so profound and poetic and impressive. I love children and their incredible hearts and minds!!!!!!
Someone sneezed so I said bless you & then I sneezed literally a minute later & she didn’t say it back. Be careful out there guys there’s a lot of evil spirited people walking among us in society
my mom once told me “accountability will always feel like an attack when you are not ready to acknowledge how your behavior harms others” and that shit is real.
