Forced forgiveness is a toxic concept where people tell us to “just move on” or “you need to forgive.” Forced forgiveness implies that a person who’s experienced abuse, neglect, or pain should get over it and allow the person in their lives. When our boundaries are violated or people hurt us, feeling anger or needing to grieve is a natural response. Bypassing our emotions to please other people is a common response in society (especially when family is involved.) In reality, forgiveness is a personal journey. It’s not for anyone else to decide how we experience an event or a relationship we have with another adult.

Hyper-independence is a trauma response where we: rarely or never ask for help, believe no one cares for us, and give up on making any connections at all because we believe eventually we’ll be abandoned.

This is super exciting folks! @News24 will include a tab on their site and app that shows how my projections for the various metros and the overall national number evolves as more results come in.
The projections will go live at 6 AM tomorrow morning. A first for SA elections!

Speedy recovery to Andile Mngxitama. But this must serve as a reminder, #COVID19 does not care about your belief in it or not. The Vaccine is the best defence we have so far, #GetVaccinated. I have said, I do not wish #COVID19 on anyone. You don't know how bad it will get for you

Abusive people get so pressed when you limit or block their access to you.
They genuinely believe that you have no right to safeguard your own peace.
But you do.
Protect your heart. ❤️ – at Cape Town, South Africa

I don’t want to die a totally avoidable death
I don’t want to put others at risk of severe illness or death.
I want to avoid creating more infectious or harmful #COVID19 variants.
I know my actions can hurt or protect my fellow humans
And I want to protect them
So I #vaccinate – at Johannesburg, South Africa

We can hold these truths at the same time:
- There is legitimate desperation AND criminal opportunism
- You can understand peoples desperation AND disagree with their behaviour
- Government can treat this as a security threat AND have a socio political intervention

Our country is not going through spontaneous chaos. The chaos and looting we have is not the outcome of a trigger . It’s organised by transactional leaders to intimidate our judicial system to allow impunity #JustAThought
Sumaya Amod retweeted
We are so used to impunity that to some, when it happens, accountability feels like injustice.
