I’d rather be introspective to a fault than be so oblivious that I go through life thinking everyone/everything else was the problem. On occasion, it was me.
I, SOMETIMES, was the problem.
meanwhile, I'm learning how to respond with calm instead of anger. I don't want to be right all the time i want to be understood. I don't want to prove a point, I want to build peace. That's growth for me now.
another love language i have is SAFETY. feeling emotionally safe means knowing i can show up as my real self, with my imperfections, when i’m overwhelmed and even when i’m still figuring things out. i genuinely love a safe space.
