Just because you fit in, doesn’t mean you’re in the right place

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Funny how they never wanted to match my energy at the start they always had to do the opposite, like they were "balancing the vibe." Now they're mirroring my energy, and I'm the one keeping my distance because consistency matters more than a sudden switch-up

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

It’s HOT outside🥵🥵 #toronto

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I honestly prefer toxic people to just stay away from me altogether. Even when they switch up and act nice later, it still feels conditional and that kind of energy just isn’t for me

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Funny how some toxic people spend so much time thinking I have a hidden agenda and constantly testing me... then suddenly start mimicking my energy once they realize I was never a threat. The switch-up is strange AF

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Today reminded me how much I missed creating just because I enjoy it. Found a hidden spot, brought my tripod, props and spent the afternoon taking my own photos. Sometimes the best kind of self-care is making time for the things that make you feel like yourself again📸✨

Happy Pride🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Funny how some people swear they're doing their own thing... yet somehow need to see what everyone else is doing first

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

If someone wants a normal conversation, I'm happy to have one. If someone needs every interaction to be a status contest, I'm comfortable leaving them to play that game without me

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I stay in experience mode while some people stay in self-monitoring mode

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I handle things head-on. Some people switch personalities, create chaos then act confused by the outcome

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I’ve noticed some people confuse emotional chaos with being ‘real’. It’s not. It’s just lack of self-control with branding

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Some people don’t want to be understood, they want to be feared. That’s not personality that’s insecurity

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

When things are going well protect your peace but don’t confuse boundaries with avoiding people who are going through a hard time

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Ahhh hot weather is finally coming our way! ☀️ So many festivals and events around the city, this is what Toronto summers are all about🙌🏽🇨🇦

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Getting my nails done was nice but taking them off? Even better. I forgot how easy texting, typing and doing literally everything is with natural nails😭

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

People who need others to depend on them can become difficult to rely on long term because your independence may feel like a threat to them. Genuine helpers on the other hand want to see you become more capable even if it means you need them less

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I don’t do shifting energy, competing vibes, or whatever role you decided I am today. Be consistent or be quiet

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

I’m not competing with you. I’m just existing. I actually prefer being simple and “boring” if that’s what peace looks like

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Some people don't know how to exist in healthy environments, so they manufacture tension just to feel familiar. Couldn't be me

[Nat Em @nnattemm]

Some people are obsessed with getting a reaction out of you. Every interaction becomes a test. It's weird. Don't y'all have lives to live?
