We've built a culture that rewards emotional fragility we've made it normal to break down over minor inconveniences we've convinced people that is something makes them uncomfortable and must be harmful we've created a world where feelings aren't just acknowledged they're treated like the absolute truth and we know that villains are not facts and here's what that looks like in real life discomfort is mistaken for danger if a conversation makes you uneasy it must be toxic if a person challenges you they must be unsafe if a situation feels harm it must be harming you boundaries are also being used as walls instead of learning how to have difficult conversations we shut people out completely instead of addressing issues we disappear and call itself preservation or i'm protecting my peace or my mental health struggle is now being labeled as crisis as a crisis we've also blurred the lines between real hardship and normal life challenges and instead of navigating stress we call everything overwhelming instead of working through difficulties we assume that we're just burnt out we protect feelings overgrowth and instead of asking what is this teaching me we ask how do i make this stop instead of allowing emotions to come and go we obsess over them like they define us we've created a mindset where people believe that emotion should be protected instead of process life isn't going to tiptoe around you the world isn't going to adjust itself to your emotional needs share believe inspire blacks be
