thinking ‘let me rephrase my words so they’re gentle’ doesn’t work with people who can’t resolve conflict in a healthy way. it’s not how you communicate your feelings that they have an issue with. they have a problem with being held accountable and that has nothing to do with you
"It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me."
