Even if you don’t live in NYC, please retweet this and get the word out so that the ppl in YOUR city also learn that they too can have politicians who get things done if they mobilize and vote socialist in other elections! 🗣️
Please date emotionally intelligent men. it's nice to have someone who's aware of your sensitivity & learns to handle your feelings gently, with patience and care. it is comforting to show your vulnerability to someone & have them learn how to respond to it with understanding >>
Keith Lee tells Keke Palmer how important respect in his marriage is, explaining that he’ll only have more kids if his wife wants to because she’s the one who carries them 👀
“I’m done when she’s done… If she want 30 of them, we gonna have 30 of them… I’m not the one carrying them, that’s not my body going through the before, after effects.”
healing your anxious attachment and then slowly becoming avoidant is a part of the journey nobody really talks about.
at first, you were just tired of feeling like you were too much. too emotional. too sensitive. always scared of being left. so you did the work. you learned how to sit with your feelings instead of reacting to everything. you stopped chasing. you stopped over explaining. you learned how to calm yourself down.
but somewhere in that process, the switch flipped.
now instead of holding on too tight, you pull away. instead of expressing everything, you go quiet. you call it peace, but sometimes it feels more like distance. and you start wondering if this is growth or just another form of protection so you never feel that same hurt again.
becoming avoidant was never the destination. real healing is balance. it’s being able to stay open without abandoning yourself. it’s learning that you can be soft without being unsafe.
you don’t have to shut everyone out to prove you’ve healed. you just have to choose people who make it safe for you to remain present.
if you went from anxious to emotionally guarded, it doesn’t mean you failed. sometimes it just means your nervous system is trying to learn a new language.
Anxiety is so bad. You can have someone infront of you telling you, screaming that they love you. You'll hear it but that voice in your head is there, telling you no they don't, no one does. It k!lls and always wins. No one understands.
Losing respect for someone is always such a weird thing because you don't hate the person, you just don't feel the need to ever speak to them again or even think about them in the same way, you're just done.
Let's normalize telling people, "It seems you don't have the capacity to love me in the ways I want and need, so let's not continue this", and leave it at that.
