Never give anyone the privilege to make you someone you are not. 🫂 Good morning ☺️ #gm

don't be too available. Instead be a scarcity...👇

the danger of oversharing 🫂👇

actions resulting from destructive, negative emotions will never end well for you. it's best to cool down, sleep on it (if you can), sweat it out through exercise or journal about it. do your best to take your mind off it. why? so you do not make any decisions that can end in irrevocable consequences for you. so don't let your emotions get the better of you. remember, you are always in control.🫂

Knowledge is not power. It is potential power. Knowledge without applying it is only information. It only becomes a "wisdom" when you try and test it.

Have you noticed how some films or anime romanticise or sensationalise abuse? #asknostr For example, plots where it’s acceptable to drag your partner aggressively, to control them in ways that isolate them, betray their trust, or treat them as an object to possess — all under the guise of ‘protection’ or ‘safety’. People, especially young adults and teenagers, consume this kind of content. Some find it very romantic and even wish for that treatment because the lead is handsome or gorgeous and filthy rich — fantasising about it, praying for it. Then later they wonder why they end up in toxic, abusive relationships. What you feed your brain rewires your brain. Physical, mental and emotional abuse is not romantic. It is unhealthy and can have serious consequences — even life and death. Be mindful what you feed your brain. 🫂

Vulnerability does not mean oversharing. Being vulnerable means having the "courage" to show and share a part of you that no one knows. Whether to inspire, to motivate or to be relatable to others. But vulnerability does not mean oversharing. Putting a camera in front of you and crying for everyone to see online is oversharing, unless you were caught off guard and it was candid. Be mindful of who you share your vulnerability with, because there are people who prey on that. People use it against you if your vulnerability becomes your identity. Being vulnerable is far from weakness, but if your naivety and emotions get the better of you, and think that "everyone" takes your stories with empathy, you are vulnerable to being slaughtered by those who prey on your lack of boundaries. Oversharing is a sign of unhealthy boundaries. Know your audience and know when and whom to trust. If you put yourself out there, it is inevitable to be scrutinised regardless of your intention, so be prepared and be mindful. Importantly, do not lose yourself in the process. Take care out there — you're beautiful soul.🫂

don't forget to remind yourself this as you start your day...🫂👇

stop being a slave to your emotions. you know what is interesting about "emotions"? it digs deep into someone's soul. how you react, how you handle the situation, gossip, predicament, dilemma, relationship and your behaviour. it reflects your brain's training, your brain's wiring and prediction. it shows your life experiences and life to date, and that is insightful to someone who knows where to look. if you are not mindful of your emotions, you will fall prey to your environment, you become "the slave of your emotions". master your emotions and stop being controlled by others. so, do you believe you are in control of your emotions? and when was the last time you responded to someone in rage — out of character? #gm #asknostr #plebs
