It sounds like I've been in the clouds picking fights with gods just to let them win

It looks like I'll move the Sun any way I have to to make you feel the earth in us

It feels hard like rocks or soft like clay?

Magic warms up if you hold it, otherwise it floats away.

It's crazy how you kind of need money to mature into other stages of life otherwise you just stay where your at

Scientists confirm that adults with ADHD use physical objects as external memory storage far more than neurotypicals.
That random receipt, old concert ticket, or shirt you haven’t worn in years isn’t clutter.
It’s your brain’s backup drive.
The object holds the memory, the context, the feeling.
Throwing it away feels like deleting a file your brain can’t access anymore

If you a woman between ages 27-35. And you’re very whimsical, bubbly, and happy basically not miserable be careful of the women you hang around that’s the age women start to become unhappy and miserable. Keep your bubbly happy energy surrounded by women that have the same energy

Shame is an acquired mental autoimmune condition that causes the sufferer to attack himself and others. Shame is a selfish infection that prefers its host be solitary and isolated.

[Mubbu @wizofecom]

Had a wealthy friend tell me that the ability to decrease time to any outcome is the one skill behind every successful person he knows.

A few I apply constantly:

- Decreasing the time it takes you to get out of a bad state will make you emotionally resilient

- Decreasing the time it takes you to go from idea to executive will make you wealthy

- Decreasing the time it takes you to turn a failure into a lesson will thicken your skin faster than anything else

Yes it’s gaslighting when you’re being mistreated and also told by people who know it’s true that you’re imagining it, but specifically it’s denial of the dignity of naming.

Naming what’s happening to you gives you power; they hate you so much, they won’t even let you have that.

When someone teaches you something you didn't ask to learn, your brain reacts like it's in physical pain. UCLA scientists watched it happen on brain scans in 2003. The same wiring that fires when you stub your toe also fires when someone treats you like you need fixing.

Naomi Eisenberger and Matthew Lieberman ran the study and published it in Science. The brain region is the dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, which is just the fancy name for your main pain alarm. It doesn't care whether the threat is a hot stove or a friend telling you how to live.

A neuroscientist named David Rock built a framework around this in 2008. Five things make the brain feel safe in social moments: status, certainty, autonomy, relatedness, and fairness. Take away any of those and the alarm fires. Rock wrote that one of the easiest ways to dent someone's status is to give them advice they didn't ask for. Even hinting that they're doing something wrong is enough.

When people are told what to do, they often do the opposite, even when the advice was good. The psychologist Jack Brehm noticed this in 1966, and sixty years of follow-up have confirmed it. The brain is trying to keep your life feeling like your own.

Close friends cut each other off with unsolicited advice in about 70% of supportive conversations, often before the friend has even finished explaining the problem. That number comes from a 2016 study by Bo Feng and Eran Magen in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships. The closer the friendship, the worse it gets. And the advice tends to make them more stressed, more depressed, and more lonely, not less.

Giving advice gives the giver a sense of power, even when nobody asked for it. Michael Schaerer and his co-authors, working across Harvard, Duke, INSEAD, USC, and Singapore Management, published this in 2018 after four experiments with about 700 people. People who chase power volunteer advice more often than others. Whether the student actually improves is a side effect, if it happens at all.

So when you feel the urge to teach somebody who never asked, that urge is mostly about you. You walk away feeling a little more powerful. They walk away feeling like they were just told they can't run their own life. Most uninvited teaching is one person's ego dressed up as kindness.

I don’t exactly have scientific data to support this, but I firmly believe that the sound of rain on the roof enhances the reading experience by at least 57%.

[Huntressaga @Artemiscentra]

There's a reason the darkest feminine archetypes remain distant from humanity.

Witches knew proximity invites destruction.
Sirens knew humans confuse fascination with possession.
High Priestesses knew that silence is a form of authority.

[Joshwelt @weltszzn]

One day in HS, I was complaining about how long the school day was and my teacher turned to me and said, "the days are long, but the years are short" and I was like "wtf are you talking about you" then the bell rang and now I'm in my 30s.

[Eva (is practising anarchist calisthenics) @ParanormalJunk2]

The number of women who were lobotomised during the 50s, without their consent, for being ‘rebellious,’ or for having ‘anxiety’ is terrifying. If you didn’t keep house properly, your husband could get someone to put an ice-pick in your brain.

[Mistress Dividend @mistressdivy]

COSTCO is warning that they are seeing significant changes in customer's buying habits. Less beef, more chicken, tuna,store brands. They say this is a signal of severe economic stress that they haven't seen since 2007.

A communication mismatch that's just too adorable
・Cat's headbutt = expression of affection
・Goat's headbutt = invitation to play

Rage baiting is what Proverbs 26 warns about.

Don’t get pulled into dumb arguments.
And don’t stay silent when truth matters.
Wisdom is knowing when to speak
& when to walk away.

[lorah @lorahmoe]

The first time my best friend met my ex-husband, we all went to dinner together.

The night itself felt normal to me.

But afterward, she asked,
“Does he usually interrupt you like that?”

I honestly didn’t know what she meant.

Then she started listing things:
Every time I answered a question, he corrected part of my story.
Every opinion became a debate.
Every joke somehow circled back to him.

I hadn’t even noticed.

That’s the strange thing about certain relationships.
You adapt slowly.
Tiny things become normal one piece at a time.

I remember defending him immediately.
“He’s just opinionated.”
“He doesn’t mean it like that.”

She nodded but finally said,
“I don’t know… it feels like he doesn’t leave a lot of room for you.”

At the time, I brushed it off.

Now I think about that sentence all the time.

Because control doesn’t always sound angry.
Sometimes it sounds conversational.
Sometimes it sounds like someone slowly talking over who you are until you start doing it for them.

Btw COVID was proven to be airborne bc of THIS WOMAN’s research and the WHO had to completely revise decades of science, she is a HERO, EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW HER NAME!!! She will be remembered by history and in the future so much about our infrastructure will change bc of her.

You do not spend generations suppressing a people you believe are weak.

[𝓓𝓮𝓵 @delonperc]

I’ve never understood why ppl expect you to accept things they wouldn’t tolerate themselves. It’s strange how some ppl set boundaries for themselves but ignore yours, acting like you should just deal with it.

@ZillennialApple -any instruments yet. After that she was the most chill teacher, very calm, very helpful, kind, forgiving...but a lot of the class would tell u she was the most strict teacher. That first impression set their expectations.

[Sonny @sonnydaze369]

@ZillennialApple I had a music teacher in elementary school who on the first day of class was SUPER STRICT, started out in a harsh tone, went over all the classroom rules and consequences, and then immediately went into instruction which was lecture/worksheet based so we did not expect to touch-
