If you know that someone had to unplug, reconnect and heal after dealing with you, the next time you see them, leave them alone. Your existence could be triggering, regardless if they’ve completely healed or not, seeing you is long. You don’t need to say hello. You don’t need to inform them that you’ve changed. They’ve more than likely reached a new level of peace, something that completely vanished while they were with you. You just need to fuck off and mind your business. You’re not entitled to a conversation with someone you almost ruined. - Meggan Roxanne.
Bugs Bunny accidentally transformed the word nimrod into a synonym for idiot because nobody got a joke where he sarcastically compared Elmer Fudd to the Biblical figure Nimrod, a mighty hunter.
Sometimes we get sad about things and we don't like to tell other people that we are sad about them. We like to keep it a secret. Or sometimes, we are sad but we really don't know why we are sad, so we say we aren't sad but we really are. #curiousincidentofthedoginthenighttime #cholatebarph
Why are women expected to dilute and tone down their personalities to be more appealing to men. Men are never told that they might struggle to get married because they are ‘too much’. They are never too opinionated, too confident, too educated, too passionate, too strong willed… it’s always women who must chip away at their selves to become more soft and easy to stomach and pliable.
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned is to never compare your struggles to another’s. I find it to be rather disheartening when someone willingly expresses their troubles to someone I imagine they trust, only for their concerns to then be belittled because the receiver subjectively experiences their own struggles as worse. And perhaps, objectively, it’s true. But we must acknowledge that another’s struggle, pain, and concerns are not to be invalidated, either.
I also am a firm believing in that not everyone will tell you the whole truth.
Personal disclosure: I was ranting about the difficulties in handling the amount of school work without addressing what was going on at home or at work. A classmate took offense and went off on me about my not having to pay bills, such as rent or car payments. Initially, I wanted to say, “But has your mother been diagnosed with stage 4 bone cancer, in addition to her lung cancer diagnosis?” “But is your father taking his frustrations out on you because his wife is ill and incapable of helping him financially, which has added on an excessive financial strain to his already weak body?” “But do you have two older brothers who see your parents struggle and willingly choose not to help out, even though they have the financial means to do so?” “Do you get pressured at work to perform tasks you were not properly trained in, only to get yelled at once again for doing it improperly as if you did not already address your concerns with doing it in the first place, because fucking damned if you do and damned if you don’t?”
Instead I said, “You’re right.”
Instead I should have said, “Be careful what you say to other’s, you never know what their story is.”
