Boundaries are sometimes a blessing that keep us from hitting our heads against brick walls. Trying to force alignment keeps us feeding a lie.
If u are craving a fight with someone- make sure it’s these systems & not ur comrades. Pushing pain out to whoever is closest to us is killing community.

Know this: some folks will not be able to see themselves. You may not be able to see yourself. This is why pulling in community is critical. But when the evidence is clear know and accept when things are misaligned—-and know it is never a reflection of your worth.

Does this story sound like one I have told before? Is it a trauma narrative I believe and is rooted in this moment or is it being projected onto this moment?

A lot of the lack of self reflexivity people are experiencing now is rooted the overwhelm we all are living in. Take time to pause, breath, consult God, consult ancestors, consult elders before u make any decision fam. Consult the people who will hold u responsible. That’s how we will get thru.

Some questions to consider:
Am I considering the context and history of my actions?
Am I telling the full story? If it is black and white its likely missing the grey. Am I trying to honor the energy of misalignment or fight for power or control? Do I want to be right or do I want to be honest?

I wish you a love that never lets your survival strategies excuse you from accountability; nor allows your misperceptions to poison your own vision of your self.

Sometimes we have to say “no”. Even when the no hurts. Even when we care about people and wish it could be a yes. Even when the no will lead to false perceptions & half stories. When the elders, the ancestors & the outsiders have been consulted; when the evidence is clear. No is the way forward.

Grief, insecurity and unexamined and triggered wounds— will take every experience you have ever had; and contort them to fit a story —anchored in a narrative where the problem is everybody else, and never ever your own behaviors and choices.
