The system is programmed to steal your resources just as it is programmed to steal the earth’s resources. They’re fracking you for labor and consumerism. Start by protecting your own resources. Your energetic, creative, intellectual, conversational, financial, emotional, physical resources are all incredibly valuable just like your time - and all of those resources deserved to be treated as such.  Learn more about your ad choices.

 You’re a good human regardless of if you’ve charmed the socks off of everyone around you or not. Stop exhausting yourself and those around you with this unspoken pressure to be the star of every experience. You can step up and ask questions - but if it’s not comfortable for either party - what is the damned point?  Learn more about your ad choices.

If you have the energy - don’t be afraid to step up and fill needs before they need to be filled as long as you remember that it’s not your responsibility to be useful all of the time or ever, honestly. Instead of thinking you always have to be of use, allow yourself to simply be - and remember your worth remains unflinching - even when you aren’t the one to save the damned day.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Just like a baby’s cry - we may not initially know what need needs tending to but the more we learn about an individual the more we may understand about their cries and appropriately be able to decipher between them. That said, it’s not our job to pick up for everyone else. The only person you are responsible for is yourself. Being the caretaker for everyone around you is not only taxing, but impossible. Knowing that everyone just wants to be seen but it’s not your job to ensure they feel seen is a fine balance that takes practice. With time it’ll get easier. But if you’re ever irritated with someone or confused on why a grown up is behaving in the way that they are - it typically comes from a place of lack and fear. If they didn’t feel so unheard - maybe they wouldn’t be so loud about it.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Even those people you truly believe have their shit together - don’t. Everyone is simply trying their best and there are certain things that every single human struggles with. No exceptions. Sure, some people have advantages that have set them ahead. Some people have good role models to show them the way. Some people have more time, money, and resources to get them ahead. But even still, with every fucking advantage known to man, people struggle with life. 99% of us are faking it at some capacity and some of us have successfully convinced ourselves that we’re really doing it - but in reality - our society is complicated. Getting it all done all the time and still staying mentally stable is nearly impossible without help. The fact of the matter is - we’re all just pretending because that’s what we're taught to do.  Learn more about your ad choices.

When was the last time you were in charge of all of your decisions? When was the last time you were in control and actually TOOK control with your best interest at heart?  Learn more about your ad choices.
