For me, with the quotes between the @friendlyj311 and of @RedFox16; @friendlyj311's is the easier one to follow/do, I think ... but maybe that's just me
A dear friend sent this to me :"You cannot shame yourself into change, only love yourself into evolving." I LOVED it!!
Whoever tries to help a butterfly come out of its cocoon, kills it. Whoever attempts to help a bud emerge from the seed, destroys it. Whoever tries to awaken consciousness in someone who is not ready, confuses him. "There are certain things that cannot be helped, they must happen from the inside out.
“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou

It is often tragic to see how blatantly a man bungles his own life and the lives of others yet remains totally incapable of seeing how much the whole tragedy originates in himself, and how he continually feeds it and keeps it going. Not consciously, of course—for consciously he is engaged in bewailing and cursing a faithless world that recedes further and further into the distance. Rather, it is an unconscious factor which spins the illusions that veil his world. And what is being spun is a cocoon, which in the end will completely envelop him.

@MissAdventurous There are a lot of trans women who find it upsetting that they can't have kids. (I'm not one of them)
(also, not upset, just mentioning)
'Everyone knows what soups and sauces are, but no one knows the exact point where a sauce becomes a soup and vice versa."
It's also upsetting for someone like myself who has fertility issues and cant have children herself. I get it. @IronLemon more than most. 🙃
