This is actually the nut of it: Leadership (elected or otherwise) is not about YOU - it's about your goals and your team. It's about *them.* Too many have forgotten that.

keep in mind that the cruel people who either find joy in harming others or don't mind harming others to get advantages for themselves are just very loud but they are still in the minority, most people are kind but they are not loud about it and often lack the power to help as much as they'd like

You're not drowning because you were too "stupid" or "lazy" to learn how to swim; you're drowning because you were raised by people who didn't get you swimming lessons, & you're exhausted from treading water for decades. No shame-- adult swimming lessons are a thing.

one of the genuine problems with the opinion attention game is that it rewards those who double down and doesn’t particularly reward introspection or intellectual humility. of course this is accelerated by the internet but frankly plenty such cases in boring, slow academia

You are smarter & more effective than your trauma conditioning is letting you believe. The voices of your bullies & abusers are lying to you. Focus in on the image & vibe of who you're becoming-- not who they want you to believe you "have to" be.

Remember: anyone's insistence that what you did go through or what you are going through "isn't that bad" has exactly zero to do w/ how bad something actually is for you, or what you need to manage it. Your lived experience in the arena trumps their view from the cheap seats.

You're allowed to feel positive things without shame. Feeling good does not invalidate your trauma. It does not mean "it wasn't that bad" or that you've been "faking" your symptoms or struggles-- nor does it mean you've "forgiven" your abusers or you're "over" the past.

Marisa said she is eft with nothing BUt questions.
"What if I would have been armed," she 2 said. "You're breaking in. What am 1 supposed to think? My initial thought was we were being robbed-that my daughters, being females, were being kidnapped. You have guns pointed in our faces. Can you just reprogram yourself and see us as humans, as women? A little bit of mercy. Care a little bit about your fellow human, about your fellow citizen, fellow resident. We bleed too. We vork. We pleed justlike anybody else bleeds. We're scared. You could see our faces that we were terrified. What makes you so much more worthier of your peace? What makes you so much more worthier of protecting your children? What makes you so much more worthy of your citizenship? What makes you more worthy of safety? Of being given
the ight t that they took from me to protect my daughters?"

Young people SHOULD “have it easier” than you did. I’m sorry you got the strap up hill both ways and paid your debts with pounds of flesh, but the reason we work for progress is to make growing up and growing old gentler, easier, kinder, freer. Struggle isn’t necessary in a healthy society.

A very common challenge for survivors & addicts in recovery is not blowing up a situation, such as a job or relationship, because we're feeling anxious or because Trauma Brain or the Addict Beast is going hard on us about how we're going to f*ck it all up if we don't act first.

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

Original 1925 jacket cover of The Great Gatsby

The Great Gatsby
Here is a novel, glamorous, ironical, compassionate a marvellous fusion into unity of the curious incongruities of the life of the period which reveals a hero like no other one who could live at no other time and in no other place. But he will live as a character, we surmise, as long as the memory of any reader lasts.
"There was something gorgeous about him, some heightened sensitivity to the promises of life. ..
It was an
extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness such as I have never found in any other person and which it is not likely I shall ever find again?"
It is the story of this Jay Gatsby who came so mysteriously to West Egg, of his sumptuous er-tertainments, and of his love for Daisy Buchanan a story that ranges from pure lyrical beauty to sheer brutal realism, and is infused with a sense of the strangeness of human circumstance in a heedless universe.
It is a magical, living book, blended of irony, romance, and mysticism.

GREAT GATSBY

A little while ago, my parents' cat Bridget went missing. As the weeks dragged on, they became extremely worried. My dad devised a way to distract himself: he began to paint Bridget's adventures, imagining her travelling through time and popping up in some of art and music's most iconic scenes.

I don't think people really grasp that sewing is a skill and that textiles are a legitimate subject of study. The whole point of Elle Woods studying fashion merchandising is that it was supposed to be frivolous but it's actually hard and those skills were transferable to Harvard Law.
