@Wendy Prager energetic, curious, fast and always in the mood to cuddle xD

@Wendy Prager Thank you Wendy :) Thats one of the few perks of living between/outside of these worlds ^^

@Mamie Stephens First of all, thank you for sharing. I am sorry to hear that… Oh, interesting, you highlighted it from the giver’s side! I was focused on the receiving end, so I didn’t see that one coming. It’s important to be picky when it comes to giving. I am kind to everyone, but my love, the "precious" energy, is reserved for very few people.Only give, and give as much as it feels right. If sharing your love doesn’t make you feel better in a way, you (not pointing at you; speaking in general) either expect something in return for sharing it, or you’re sharing it with the wrong people. How do you feel about this now? Why do you think he is acting like this? Was he always like this? Or did things change? Sending you some good energy! ✨

@Annie Toro Lopez Thank you for your input, Annie :) As Wendy has noted, you seem to have lived this trough; from the receiving end. Loving with expectations, might not be right, but it`s human Loving to manipulate has nothing to do with love But how do we know the difference? Especially on the receiving end?

"You are, what you surround yourself with" Society can absolutely affect our emotional state, especially through constant exposure: social media, news, ads, short-form content like reels or YouTube Shorts. They’re designed to pull at our nervous system, and over time that can seriously destabilize emotional balance. And beyond media, the people closest to us matter a lot. Repeatedly absorbing fear, anger, or rigid worldviews from others can slowly wear us down, even without obvious conflict or violence. I’ve experienced that myself. So yes, I think society can be traumatizing. Not always through single events, but through constant pressure and exposure, especially when there’s little room to regulate or step back. But as always, there is the other side of the coin; you also absorb the positive things ^^ And yes, you can choose to a certain extend what you surround yourself with and what you absorb :)

@Tonya Valadez That’s also true. I consider myself very lucky in terms of my surroundings and the fact that I even have the option to choose. I have wonderful people in my life, and society in Northern Italy feels relatively stable, even though it is far from perfect. Looking at this through someone else’s eyes, especially the perspective of a person of color in the U.S., really puts my initial statement into perspective. For many people, that choice simply does not exist, or only exists in a very limited way. I can’t truly relate to that experience, and I don’t want to pretend that I can. I also can’t fully imagine how that constant pressure and fear must feel. I do understand that the situation is very serious, and likely even worse than what I perceive from the outside. This isn’t directed against people in the U.S. in general. What reaches me from across the Atlantic often feels deeply troubling and contradictory, and I am very aware that the U.S. is not one single lived reality. So yes, I do think sharing perspectives like yours is important, and I’m genuinely interested in learning more about the intersectional feminism framework you mentioned.
