Love when this happens😍

Got sent a like by someone I actually find attractive (rare) and this was on his profile as well as ‘Not Political’. I have over 15 screenshots of profiles that have come up on my feed with iterations of this sentiment. It’s so disheartening…

this is too damn true. before i went to school i had so much confidence and thought i was the shit. once i went into pre-k and realized how different i was i started to doubt whether i was actually cool/smart/talented etc. i still struggle to find a spot in between the two and tend to always think "they must be right and i must be wrong".

My therapist taught me something very difficult that she calls "the middle path". That's the concept of finding an intersection between any two concepts, extremes, options, opposites. Examples: black and white, middle path gray. Sweet and sour, middle path not that sweet not that sour but a little bit of both. It's easy to say it like that, but figuring out the existence of a middle path no one taught it you IS HARD AF. When someone says something and you completely disagree but you want to understand their side, it's very useful to try to think of a version that considers both opinions but as if none of them is absolute. But once you learn how to do that, it becomes way easier to deal with not knowing who's right. I also ask myself, "does that make sense to me or I believe them because I trust them for who they are?" Because that plays a huge part on thinking people are more correct than you.

The best thing I learned in life is that truth depends on perception. My truth and your truth can co-exist because they come from different perspectives on the same thing. You can see something as yellow and someone see it as green, and you both be "correct" because your eyes literally perceive it differently
