You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Today I woke up with these words in my head. It took me a lot of years to actually listen to my intuition freely. Most if the times I knew right away if something was good for me or not. But I always found excuses for people, for situations, for things. But especially for people in my case.

If something feels off, it’s probably off. I hoped to be proven wrong, so I stayed in all kinds of crappy, toxic dynamics with people. The past months I started to just trust my gut more, and oh gurl I saved myself some time and energy. 🤙🏻
