A "breakup from reality" is to replace the complexity of our failures w/ a fabricated narrative where we are the unbothered hero. We’d rather live in a convenient fiction than face the bankruptcy of our own potential. ​We're so busy winning the breakup that we’re losing in life.

[Per Twits @perperitis]

We dump the anger meant for our failures onto ppl who love us. ​It’s the brain’s cowardly math: trading growth for a safe target. We invent grievances to avoid the mirror & drown out our lack of discipline.
​Blaming the world for a debt we owe ourselves only stalls our potential.

[Per Twits @perperitis]

We’d rather be a "victim" in a story we understand than a "failure" in a reality we don’t.

​If the news isn't good, we invent a villain. We’ll fabricate a conspiracy just to avoid the weight of our own choices.

​We aren't losing the war; we're just winning a fiction.

[Per Twits @perperitis]

We don't see people as they are; we see them as we need them to be to feel safe.

Our critique of others is often just a leaked confession. We’ll manufacture their "faults" to drown out our own.

​We can't heal a wound by pretending it belongs to someone else.

[Per Twits @perperitis]

Bargaining w/ reality is a debt we eventually have to pay.

​By obsessing over "good news" to drown out the bad, we aren't healing; we’re just burying truth under fiction. If the news isn't there, we'll fabricate it.

​Eventually the reality we ignored will collapse our fantasy.

@susie_dent do note that one can also be "gigil" due to extreme anger or frustration. it's not limited to just anything cute and/or adorable altho (vast) majority of the time it is in that context. :)

@tokwako00 @ginsandroses Re. life insurance, get term (20-30yrs or pay as need) never whole (until 70+). you'll (usually) only need life insurance til all ur kids start working.

also separate insurance frm investment - they have different goals (⬆️ floor vs ⬆️ ceiling). in short, I wldnt recommend VUL.
