A quotation from Montaigne

There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.

[Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

There’s a version of you that stayed quiet just to keep the peace. That tolerated things you shouldn’t have. That made excuses for people who didn’t deserve them. That carried the weight of relationships that were never yours to fix. You’re allowed to outgrow that version. You’re allowed to become someone who says no. Who walks away. Who protects their energy without apology. That’s not cold. That’s healing. 🖤 #HealingJourney #SelfWorth #Unlearning #Growth

gif’s artidote | episode 4 | small steps & change

this week i read two blog posts: ‘small steps‘ & ‘change‘ as they’re both about my transition journey and are quite short. in addition i discuss why it seems many trans & non-binary people in particular often adopt an anarchist philosophy in their lifestyle, which i argue is the reason trans people are being scapegoated more aggressively than other minority groups.

HI ALL💝 just bc some of our Yesterdays were overcast, *TODAY* could be A LOT Better❣

🌫🌦🤔🌤☀️

whether we have #cancer or not, Everyone has good/not so good days; pls *KEEP* GOING W/THE FLOW, Warriors bc That is how a True Warrior responds to life's unpredictability. Hosting a pity party for oneself simply nullifies your #Strength #Resilience #SelfWorth

Look for those windows of opportunity (however small they may seem)👀 to maintain/improve YOUR #QualityOfLife
