The hurt you carry darkens what you see. - Yung Pueblo

sometimes we feel like exploding — not because of anything or to hurt anyone but simply because we are growing, releasing, letting the old parts die, so that new habits, new ways of being, have space to live (shedding)

one of the greatest gifts we can give each other is selfless listening, which is hearing someone’s truth without projecting one’s own emotion or story onto it — literally receiving another’s perspective with complete acceptance.

ask yourself: is this how i actually feel, or is this my emotional history trying to recreate the past?
