Can we talk about how exhausting it is to be emotionally intelligent in situations that don't deserve your understanding. To see everyone's perspective when nobody is extending the same courtesy to yours. To regulate your reactions while others express everything without filter or consequence. To be the bigger person so consistently that nobody even acknowledges it requires effort. Emotional intelligence is a gift.
I was in line at the bookstore & the guy behind me was talking shit about every woman in line "her boobs are out..." "those leggings are tight" "she's looking like a hooker" so I whispered "the guy behind us is looking at people's boobs" and my aunt faces the guy & says "this guy is looking at women's boobs??"…every woman in line looked at him with disgust, he got embarrassed and left... BRING BACK PUBLIC SHAMING!
We didn’t know it then but this was the golden age for a certain generation. Every song felt this big & magical.
The writers, producers, artists, labels, everyone took this genuine, unquantifiable energy for granted. It’s a lesson on appreciating what you have before it’s gone🎀
I absolutely HATE unwelcoming families.. like if your family gone be rude for nothing.. Please dont invite me to no functions. I'll never come back around. SIMPLE.
