"Someone asked me what I admire most in a person. I said, the ability to leave people better than they found them... To have conversations that heal instead of hurt. To make people feel safe instead of judged. To be the reason someone walks away smiling instead of questioning their worth. That's a rare kind of beautiful.โ ~Meryam J.

Emotional intelligence is not about avoiding strong reactions. Itโs about being less reactive.
Reactions are hard to controlโtheyโre rapid and visceral. Responses are easier to delay and modify.
A key to emotion regulation is expanding the distance between feelings and actions.
I've been so at peace with myself. I no longer feel the need to peruse any friendship with anyone, i no longer feel the need to over explain myself, i no longer feel the need to protect or respect anyone feelings who cant do the same and i just no longer feel the need to reach out to anyone who doesn't reach out to me and i when i say it's so much better this way. it really is.
