Empathy without boundaries is self-destruction. Unconditional love doesn't mean unconditional tolerance. You gotta train your boundaries to be stronger than your soft heart and your mind to be stronger than your feelings. Otherwise, you'll be drained. So be kind and take no sh*t.

Some people will project their lack onto you as your weakness. People who lack communication skills will say you're arguing. People who lack the emotional intelligence to understand you will call you sensitive. Stop owning their lack and thinking there's something wrong with you.

Take your parent off the pedestal.
Look at their relationships, the way they speak about themselves, & their beliefs.
They’re human. Unsure of how to do life. Like all of us.
Leaving the childhood illusion that they’re all knowing gods is the first step in healing.

Emotional rock bottom has lessons. Breaking down hurts, and it's also the beginning of rebuilding. Take a deep breath and remember who you are.

Everyone is always shocked that I leave our newborn with my husband while I go out and do things. “You trust him?!” “I would never!” “I’d come home to a mess or an injured child.” Y’all stop having babies with men you can’t trust with them. Literally no concerns here.

Best part of being an elder millennial is at the grocery store every song is an absolute banger. Wonderwall at 8am? Let's gooo

People don't know who they are.
We're conditioned to disconnect from ourselves to achieve and perform at a young age.
A mental health crisis is the natural result.

I just saw a tiktok that said people aren’t swallowing properly and it’s causing health problems and I thought I was doing okay by not choking to death how is life this hard

If you think fertilized eggs are people but parents who've crossed the oceans with their kids aren't, stop pretending your concerns are religious.

Winds up to 140 mph recorded now in parts of the Alps, tornadoes touching down across a wide swath of northern Italy, France, Switzerland and Austria.
Propelled, in part, by spectacular heat dome effect over southern Europe and the Mediterranean.

3. Trust people's capability: when we emotionally monitor adults, we're sending a message (though unintentionally) that we don't trust them. Trust people to find their own solutions and to work through their own feelings. This will take practice.

Relationships are so beautiful when you and your partner are actually good friends. You show up together, share inside jokes, talk openly, have fun, and give out best friend energy. They shouldn’t replace your actual friends but it’s amazing when the dynamic isn't just romantic.
