Why are Americans so gullible and easily distracted. They won’t see the diversion for what it’s meant to be

In these times, it’s more important than ever to surround ourselves with the right people—your tribe. Seek support, find comfort, strategize, stay connected, and move forward with purpose and urgency.

He thrives on chaos, attention, & instilling fear to paralyze action. While I take his actions seriously, I’m mindful of his intentions & won't let him stress me tf out. It is critical that we use every available remaining tool of checks & balances to hold him accountable & mitigate his overreach.

When you could have tried harder, done more, and chose not to—and then feel disappointed by your failure—it’s beneficial to sit with that moment of self-annoyance. Next time, let it motivate you to put in more effort, overcome your mistakes, and earn that sweet reward.

🗣️📣 When the ppl realize the true value of their power, it will all come tumbling down, which is why there’s concerted effort to misinform, pit us against each other & not truly educate learners, constituents, workers & the gen pop. Truth tellers will always be silenced, intimidated, discredited.

Feeling deeply disappointed when things don’t go as planned is natural, but sometimes our "Plan B" turns out to be the better path. We should take time to weigh the pros & cons of both our original desire & the alternative —hindsight & introspection often reveal the true value of our backup plan.

I’ve noticed farrrrr too many starter packs over here belonging to “respectable, woke, smart ppl” do not include a single Black person. There’s a plethora of intelligent, worldly, astute, witty Black people on this app. The pro DEI folks aren’t really, which is why we are where we are. I see you.

The further my destination from home is, the longer I’m away from home, and the more ppl I travel with, the more my overpacking sensibilities are appreciated and depended on. Every time one of them asks me for an item they attempted to shame me for packing, I gloat. Gleefully!

Why are people who don’t have an affinity for pet cats or dogs villainized? I’m a kind, compassionate, generous person but I have no desire to have pets - another responsibility. Glad most of the world seemingly adores pets and finds comfort in their company.

Choosing a life partner is 1 of the most pivotal decisions in your life -setting the stage for your life events. Choose expertly. Spouse could be one’s asset or liability. Or both,as relationships ebb &flow. If possible, fill up good times bank so there’s a surplus during the inevitable gtfomf times

Very little beats the rush of intl travel - tasting savory dishes, observing natives’ habits, outlooks on life, clothing, family interactions, sightseeing wondrous locales. The financial aspects of the USA dream aren’t obtainable in the States but are at fingertip’s reach in Asia&Africa. Contentment

Parenting includes more tears & fears than delights, but yet the majority of the world readily participates in copying themselves. Offsprings are a combo of both the positives & negatives of ourselves & our partners, their enviro & how they personally react to it. Who knows the person who’ll emerge?

The more life&experiences I’ve lived,the more I appreciate the nuanced differences in being happy vs content.Happiness is fleeting&needs to be constantly fed,but contentment is light, satisfactory,pleasant,and finds me.I no longer seek joyfulness.Contentment puts on me no pressures of aspirations.

I value quiet, solitude, people/places/opportunities to self-reflect, go into myself, listen to my inner voice. My favorite places for me-time: beautiful mosques and libraries. An unexamined life is one not worth living.

Realizing one’s parents are people like the rest of us with flaws, shortcomings & significant room to grow is both liberating and incredibly frustrating. Ignorance can be blissful but the enlightenment that things & people aren’t really what and who they seemed or have ever been can be infuriating.

Asking me to shop with you at Costco means I’m going down each aisle, taste testing samples, and putting delicious delicacies that I’ve never tried before in our cart. Variety is certainly the spice of life, especially when it comes to food and traveling.

It’s painfully frustrating to understand a concept in your head and can speak passionately abt it in your head, but when explaining it to others you realize how unconvincing and muddled you’re appearing. 😩

I’m convinced of bluesky’s value. I don’t need to see or read think pieces encouraging me to spend time on this app. It’s giving “pick me”. We don’t need to do that over here.

Coming to terms with the core of who someone is is terribly unsettling because it requires a deep reflection of core memories - moments and times coveted are now seen for what they are, who they are. This ride is getting far too bumpy and noisy and it’s just rattling upward. Bracing for impact.

Nothing can prepare you for coming to terms with “loved ones” behaving in a very unloving way toward you. All the many ways they try to make you the bad guy when you unmask them. Bringing darkness to light is a thankless burden. No wonder many just go along to get along.
