#Emotional Control

[short-wooloo]

"Claims to control the uncontrollable"

This line, is so, fucking, stupid

First off: Emotions can be controlled, people in real life do it all the time, it's not that fucking hard, in fact it's essential to being an emotionally healthy human being

This show tries so fucking hard to be anti Jedi but it just ends up being a complete idiot fest

Moreover, the Jedi are Great at controlling their emotions! They're Really Good at it! I'd list examples, but it's 99% of all Jedi

And you can't waive it away like "oh he's a jerk, you're not meant to take what he says seriously" because these words are very much in line with leslye headland's own, he's an author's mouthpiece, the intent here is obviously not "ignore this jerk he doesn't know what he's talking about" it's "this guy's a jerk but he's got a point", even if said "point" is really dumb and nonsensical in context

I don't want to simply capture your mind, I need your heart too.

I need to hold it and make it beat to My rhythm.

Need your emotions to bend, feeling everything I want you to feel.

Willing weakness.

Satisfied submission.

Absolute adoration.

I need you to love Me like you've never loved before. Dote on Me like you would a lover, a leader, a god, and something even greater.

Surrender your mind, so I may rewrite it.

Surrender your heart so there is nothing I can do that will not deepen your devotion.

Do this, and you will know nothing but bliss.

Anger as a Gift

Tongue of gasoline, vampire's teeth, and cruel truths create a virulent first impression. Tapping toes, sad beneath elegance--why so malevolent? Taking a bite to draw blood before a duel, before a sword wraps around my cold hand--how do I embrace such gore, and not let tears saturate holy ground? Testing my grit, face to face with a blade, I trust myself to extract my own greed. But in the corner of a savage glade a stranger throws a putrid match at me. When was anger a gift? When I call on it to consume me, and make a new dawn. --Elda Mengisto

3.10 miles in the the cold wind and rain out in the country today.

I thought I was going to have a siezure while playing games with my family and had to sneak away, a walk was actually just what I needed, it doesn’t always keep my episodes from coming on but today it did.

For the people who can’t find the right word to describe how their feeling.

This has been a good tool for me personally

In a world driven by deadlines and busy schedules, mastering the art of time management is crucial. However, success isn’t solely dependent on managing your hours efficiently; it also hinges on another essential factor—emotional intelligence. Developing emotional intelligence is the key to navigating the intricate web of human interactions and achieving personal and professional success.

You see her? A shadow of who she used to be. A reflection of who she wishes to be. A shell of who she will never be.

These combine at the end to be who you see.

But is it truly her or who she wants you to see?

Look, it’s incredibly hard and vulnerable for me to publicly admit that I have fallen for several relationships that were essentially based on manipulation and illusion (multiple relationships with narcissists).

I am very used to being used up as a prop.

(If only any of you knew how I wish that I weren’t in relationships for over the past decade were my love languages were used against me - or worse, not given to me at all. I have found it incredibly frustrating that I try my best to be understanding of others’ human conditions, while they cannot even comprehend mine. And then when they push me into a reactive state to impose control, it hurts even worse because they try to strip me of the way I naturally love and care. I am still regaining it. I love to love, and, through my friends and partnerships (which I’m taking slow and in a very different direction than ever before), I am being loved. And I am open to it now - and I have higher standards now)

When I dared to stand up for myself or even question my exes or my mom (both actions are healthy things to do in relationships), it gets very ugly for me.

So while some people might think that the abuse I went through was just them “hurting my feelings,” it invalidates the following:

- how it felt like it was more abusive and longer lasting than all the physical assault and rapes I’ve been through. And that it eventually turned physical.

- the increase in inflammation in my body while I was with them that disabled me more and more

- the suppression of my identity if it did not match with their narrative

- me. It invalidates me. It invalidates all the processing and the therapy and the work I’ve been doing on myself. And while, I am working toward living my best life, I will not stand for such invalidation and disrespect any longer.

If only you knew how much I wish I weren’t so traumatized. If only you knew how much I yearn for a nesting partner who loved and supported me - so that I wouldn’t have to live in stress and fear. It’s not fun to be like this. I am painfully aware that people are ridiculing me. But they have my whole life - so - I’m going to be so unapologetically me so that, even if y’all think I’m crazy and not worthy of being lovingly touched or even comforted when I’m going through a hard time… or believed, I will succeed in this life. And I will rub it in all of your faces. I will divert all my care that I have given to the wrong people back to myself and the people who actually show me reciprocal love.

Do not rely on others for mood regulation. This will leave you in an arguably worse place. Try to separate your emotions from others. If done successfully others emotions will not negatively impact yours and you learn to regulate and control your emotions easier.
