unlearn shame. all forms of shame: unemployment, illness, vulnerability, longing, desire, errors, failures. you do not need to feel ashamed of what you are experiencing or living. freedom and shame cannot coexist.
saw a quote that said, “anger is the part of you that loves you the most. it shows up when you're being mistreated, ignored or disrespected. it's a signal - calling you to step away from what's harming you.
whether it's a room, a job, a relationship or an old version of yourself, anger let's you know when it's time to walk away. if you learn to listen to it, to trust it and make it your ally, it won’t need to shout so loudly."
We just need to go back to calling people mean. Not an asshole, not a dick, just mean. I feel like when you deliver that word to someone with genuine hurt in your voice, your stare, your body language, it cuts the ego quite a bit
