"They" should have shown us how to love ourselves, be patient w/ ourselves, & be realistic about what we need & can do.

That "they" taught us to judge & abandon ourselves instead means you & I are learning self-love on the fly, now, as adults.

No shame. Better now than never.

Trauma conditioning is lying to you about why you were hurt back then. It wasn't because you dared to be or express yourself. It was because the people around you lacked the ability or interest to be kind or appropriate humans.

Your personality or needs were never the problem.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.

There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.

They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Never forget that the bluster and brutality and made-for-TV violence that we’re witnessing in CA and elsewhere right now on the part of the administration is a sign of weakness and fear.

Not strength.
