Words don’t embody their meaning anymore.
In the States, Democrat means communist, Liberal means fascist. No joke.
In the whole of the Western World, Diversity means replacement, Inclusion means censorship, Equity means annihilation.
Again, I am not kidding.
Every breath you take, means someone is trying to get something out of you.
You have to learn to say no to those who do not care about you.
I’m lucky. I have a pretty good idea of what people intend and I am learning to say no but it’s hard sometimes.
Growing up a people pleaser means I feel guilty about saying no, I feel embarrassed, often, by what I feel and fulfilling my needs can be a real fucking struggle.
Learn to have a tight group of people you trust, who want the best for you and vice versa. I have a beautiful boyfriend who does this, again, lucky!
Start to be more confident with your language, say what you mean and mean what you say.
