It’s true. You don’t know how healed you are until you’re faced with situations that test it. Being alone is nice but it doesn’t help you stop being “triggered” by things
Trust people to come to you if they're upset with you. Or have an issue. You don't need to assume, play a detective, or exhaust yourself pulling it out of them. Giving people emotional space is an act of love.
Having a random conversation with my mom about going extra miles for burial.
Mom: Anywhere I die, bury me there. No need to be moving body up and down. My spirit is already gone.
Me: So if it’s abroad, can we do cremation?
Mom: “Won a sun Iya baba e”

One of my worst traits is genuinely the intensity to which I feel emotions. When I’m sad, I’m borderline depressed. When I’m irritated, I’m on the verge of anger. When I’m disappointed, I feel disgusted.
3. Expand your emotional immaturity: practice listening to your partner even when you're uncomfortable. Validate what they feel even when you disagree. Practice out of trying to "win" or making someone wrong."
