just a reminder that you don’t have to heal everything all at once.
be proud of how far you’ve come instead of comparing with others, looking at “potential,” and criticizing yourself.

It took only ~2.5 hrs for the National Assembly to gather a majority of members (190 of 300) and generate a unanimous vote (190 of 190) to vote down the emergency martial law. The law says the president "shall comply" with parliament's vote, but doesn't specify a time frame.

bell hooks said, “when culture is based on a dominator model, not only will it be violent, but it will frame all relationships as power struggles.”
ridding myself of seeing something/someone as a competition is sometimes so hard, but always so important for me.
