chaos is a ladder

stress can look like chaos happening all at once.
it looks like someone handing you their overwhelm and calling it a conversation.
one minute you’re talking about buying trash bags that ran out,
next minute you’re defending your entire existence in a shared space.
i’ve learned something tonight

when the rules keep changing,
it’s not a performance issue.

it’s a clarity issue.

…and clarity doesn’t come from raising your voice.
it comes from lowering your involvement and stepping away.
some situations don’t need fixing.

they need space…

lowkey: i wish i had a lead to get me out of here.
i learned very quickly God was showing me red flags this whole time.
