when you find yourself in a battle fierce consuming your bandwidth, constant in thoughts overthinking on overdrive, ask yourself a couple of things:
what part of me is leading this fight? a portion unhealed, ensuing from a place of pain? or an intentional, mindful self, my chosen values to guide the way?
and who am i fighting for? a version of me that wasn't able to right a similar wrong, desperately longing to try again? or the actual subject, the issue, right here, right now in this?
because nuances always matter in how you approach these things, one from a place of freedom: aware, considered, controlled. the other relentlessly, harmfully fuelled. a whirlwind of pain.
