lifelong rec i’m learning…just so awesome every time i realize everyone is entitled to their own experience and i dont have to manage it, facilitate it, or always react to it. yeeeeeah
As a recovering people-pleaser, turns out the whole world doesn’t fall apart if instead of suppressing anger I actually let myself feel it from time to time 🫨
i’m definitely not perfect at this. i get upset and offended when people i care about lash out at me, but i’m trying harder to be more empathetic to what they’re going through, especially in the moment when it happens. 🫂
Not in a “I’m too cool to gaf” way but in a way that’s like… I’m actually more focused on what’s in front of me and being present most of the time and not stressing over something I have no control over (like the past) or something I don’t have the solution to right now (the future). It took me soooo long to learn this but after consistently going to therapy weekly for 6 months straight I’m finally getting the hang of it and my therapist was right!!!!! Deal with it when it’s right in front of you and not when it’s still 100 miles away. BE PRESENT. :D
