I've tasted trying to fix people, and I've tasted forcing the truth down their throats. I highly recommend not caring more about people's lives than they do. No one is your assignment. Not even the ones you love.
What they don’t tell you about maintaining a boundary, and being brave enough to cut off a toxic connection is that it won’t feel empowering. It will feel like shit. It will hurt. It will burn. You will doubt it. You will ache thinking about it. And it was still the right choice.
the thing about mirroring people’s behaviour (back to them) is that they still won’t recognize themselves in it. they’ll only focus on what you’re doing to them—even though it’s exactly what they’ve done to you.
Jay-Z said something in his GQ Interview that stood out……he talked about editing your life. He said some people are for life and some are for a moment and "these ideas of loyalty will hold you in places that you don't belong.”
It’s time to move on!
I've tasted being the bigger person and i've tasted matching energy. i highly recommend choosing people who never make you act out of character. there's wisdom in remaining grounded.
I’m very particular and I think that intimidates people because they think I’m looking for perfection like… No. Don’t bring stupidity into my life though
A lady died because she wasn’t breathing fine at a party but didn’t speak out because she didn’t want to bother anyone. She slumped on the spot and died. During her funeral, her sister said she was the type who never spoke out even when being intimidated.
It hit me that confidence was taking control over your life even if it means bothering people. So even while my heart was racing and it felt like I could pass out from anxiety….I spoke up .
If someone was in my way , I spoke up
If I needed to get something done, I spoke up until It became a part of me.
White people have this obsession with forcing their victims to share in the blame of their sin. They refuse to just accept the evil is unique to them and do the work to understand why. It’s a lack of self awareness and self reflection.
