I think taking a step back from both wider relationships I was at the wayside and closer relationships that I’d like to have, has helped me do this pretty recently. With interpersonal political discourse as well. I mean, like telling myself “hey dude, it’s okay to lessen the scope into local community here. Who is actually benefiting from the obligate yapping right now, not really anyone.“
I don’t know, honestly I’m a bit of a mess currently ‘cause of *life* stuff, but it feels a lot less messier than before - by not continuing to fool myself into trying to twist my own resentments into ✨communication✨ and pretending that I’m somehow *doing* something positive for other people from it.
that shit really festers y’know

i learned this through teaching children. what i learned was that shame only hurts and shrinks people. they learn nothing except that fear is in the driver seat. :/ the way you teach people that another world is possible is by creating that world through your words and actions ♥ i do sometimes warn the students that their behavior will make me crash out. yes i use that exact verbiage. no i don’t actually crash out. but i digress. as much room as i give to compassion and grace i also give to accountability and self awareness!

this is so true, it can be hard to remember sometimes — for me when it comes to politics / social justice topics especially.

@LIVVVCANNING I actually suck at putting this into practice a lot of the time but it’s so important to try to work towards 🥹❤️
