■ In Case You Didn't Know ...

MEDIA IS SUBJECTIVE

Psychological transference is a redirection of internal feelings onto often unrelated external sources such as media or even people. My thoughts and feelings about things are personal and specific TO ME and have nothing to do WITH YOU. If you are triggered, seek help and healing. Don't take your emotional and mental dysregulation out on strangers because you don't like how they express their personal experiences with media.

■ Why Are There No Comments?

This is my life, not a conversation.

More Selfness

I’m not a person who holds grudges though people have accused me of this – my parents especially – but more I make an assessment of someone’s behavior and patterns and make a decision about where they should be placed in my life – if anywhere at all – and they stay where I have placed them. It’s really that simple. It’s a decision for my own safety and wellness. It's selfNESS, not a grudge.
