I normalize high self esteem around me. There’s no need to dim your greatness in my presence or apologize for knowing your worth. Confidence doesn’t threaten me, it inspires me. Secure people make room for other secure people to shine.🤝✍️
Never build your identity around being the one who understands everyone. Some people are not confused, they are incentivized. Some people are not wounded, they are opportunistic. Compassion without discernment turns you into a luxury service for people avoiding accountability.
I have 0 tolerance for condescension, bullying & mean-spiritedness. I have even lower tolerance for those who indulge in these behaviors covertly then act surprised & start gaslighting & doing DARVO techniques when you call them out & directly address it. Go play where it’s safe.
Y'all will literally drain the niceness outta a person... and then act shocked when they stop being sweet. Ain't nobody born mean... people get worn down, disrespected, and pushed there.
I wish we’d stop shaming people for picking bad partners or staying in harmful relationships. Many peoples’ nervous systems are wired to mistake chaos for intimacy or trauma has conditioned them to abuse. These people don’t need your condescension, they need compassion & healing.
The kindest thing literature does is remind you that your peculiar little feelings have always existed. Someone, in some century, was equally confused by love, bored by society, tired of performing, and hungry for meaning.
i can measure how happy someone is with themselves and their life by observing how they speak to others. i cannot be convinced that anyone who is unkind, condescending, or spiteful is a happy person
