I’ll always vouch for expressing yourself. People hurt you? Let them know. Put it out there. The idea that silence will solve things or you’ll just feel better without an outlet is the reason our communities remain broken.
Having a random hobby as an adult is actually hilarious. You’ll be having a day delivered directly from hell but then gotta suck it up to get to tap class by 6:30pm.
It’s always funny to me that the biggest trolls in the comments or folks that like to argue never have a real profile pic and their name makes 0 sense lol
When I was unhealed I had people around me that would constantly belittle me for my mistakes. Not even from a place of correction but from a place of superiority. Some people only hang with you when you’re at your worse just so they can have someone to talk bad about. I took note. I definitely made adjustments.
When I was at my worse, I was surrounded by people. I interpreted that to be surrounded by love. But once I decided I wanted better for myself, I knew that the tribe around me would have to want better for me too. That’s when I assessed “who’s encouraging my growth vs hindering it?”. I took note. I made adjustments accordingly.
When I began my healing journey, I knew it would lead me to change the way I date & the things that I accept in relationships. But I was unprepared for how much it would lead me to up my standards of who I called “friend” & be selective with who I allowed to have access to me.
