On Being Human

My personal writing on how we treat each other.

I say a lot of
relatable sh*t.

I’ve been through some. I figured you had too.

Nobody handed us a manual. We’re figuring this shit out as we go.

I write because going through hell can make you doubt yourself. Sometimes you need someone else to say what you already know before you trust yourself enough to act on it.

The writing people
responded to most.

Ten posts from my Threads archive.
Recorded engagement; figures are not live.

Self-respect

Being low maintenance is cute until you realize it trained people to neglect you.

F*ck that. Take up space.

Boundaries

You don’t owe anyone softness after they mishandled you.

F*ck that.

Resilience

I have such f*cking respect for people who went through hell and refused to become bitter.

The world owes you so much.

Integrity

You moved clean in dirty situations.

Integrity.

Rebuilding

You really can’t f*ck with someone who knows how to rebuild from scratch.

Nothing phases us.

Accountability

I don’t f*cking trust people who never admit when they’re wrong.

Accountability is intimacy too.

Generational healing

I have so much f*cking admiration for people who looked their family trauma dead in the face and refused to pass it down.

Caregiving

You were fighting for your f*cking life in silence and still made sure everybody else was okay.

So selfless. Kudos.

Forgiveness

Forgive them. But never let them touch your life again.

No grudges. No ill will. Just space.

Friendship

You need friends who don’t get weird when things are going well for you.

There’s more
where that came from.

I share my personal writing on Threads.
