i’ve noticed that people who make time to read often seem more willing to listen. maybe it’s because reading teaches you to slow down, follow someone else’s train of thought, and sit with ideas before reacting.
james baldwin in the fire next time;
“people find it very difficult to act on what they know. to act is to be committed, and to be committed is to be in danger.”
Vengeful people who refuse to take accountability are dangerous. They intentionally misunderstand that for every action there’s a reaction. They start the fire blame everyone else for the smoke then spend their time plotting revenge instead of accepting they lit the match.
I’ve been in situations where “friends” tried to set me up and probably tried to kill me
My intuition was always 10 steps ahead and I’m always quick to cut a shady person off
@DeepPsycho_HQ Sometimes the very qualities that make you seem difficult, different, or less appealing to some people are the same qualities that protect your independence and prevent others from taking advantage of you.
It’s hard to humble me when I’ve proven to myself who I am. My confidence wasn’t built on validation or approval, it was built through self trust, discipline, and keeping the promises I made to myself. You can’t break a foundation I built within. I’m exactly who I believe I am.✍️
