I think the biggest task of our generation is , how many will make it to the other side. Defying social standards and standing on your personal beliefs is becoming more and more scarce . How many of us still have personal beliefs that are not a socially re-enforced narrative ??
When someone is really chosen by God you'll know it by the way they go through hell, lose people, lose possessions, face unbelievable storms and somehow come back stronger, resilient, full of joy and laughter even! That kind of strength isn't natural. It's supernatural. Divine.
I don't like to build resentment because I know myself. I have to speak up otherwise you will eventually get a very cruel side of me. You might think my being outspoken is my aggressive side because it makes you uncomfortable but it's not.
one of the most refreshing things on the planet is talking to someone who just *gets it*.
like you don’t need a preamble, & you don’t need to articulate the shape of the thought before you can share it cuz they just meet you where you already are. as if they skimmed your mind & married to the culture before you say a single word.
these people are rare, & conversations with them are incredible because you skip the surface layer entirely & land in the depth almost immediately. they’re the best ppl to riff with, ideate with, & think forward with.. the bandwidth is wide & already open.
this is true for any type of relationship.
