@shaythethey: For many people struggle has been the biggest growth factor in our life. What may be seen as excellence is simply how hard we have had to work to escape our circumstances. Some of us never got the chance to be mediocre and we should not be punished for that. #excellent #envy #jealousy #survival #shaythethey

They think it’s a movie like damn this my life bro 😭😭😭😭

Blair In Belgrade :

Im SO TIRED of people telling me how resilient I am exhausted 😩

stormborndragon :

It's like they see you as lesser because you were "held back" but are baffled when you catch up and surpass people who have had headstarts.

Wolfreign :

not many actually consider themselves animals in their nature as human beings, it's almost held in the unconscious as an after thought. so when one is cogniscent of their evolutionary heritage and is self-aware of their need to survive at a biological level, it seems absurd to those who have a desire to dominate you in the status hierarchy, which manifests itself phenomenologically, in whichever environment where people are competing for resources or mates in order to reproduce and survive. as well as everything you've stated. 🔥🙏🏾.

Bad Ash🔥💋 :

It’s like you’re narrating my life. I overachieved because I had no one, no support system but the opposite actually.. Now, my life is a flex and I’m cool about it while ppl expect me to be arrogant or assume I’m conceited when I’m actually whimsey, warm and bubbly but I can’t even show it I gotta give tough and it sucks

K🤍 :

So annoying because you’ve developed empathy through the struggle and they wanna have a victim competition…I could win, but I don’t want to! Who tf wants to win that?😂

mya.india :

bluddbabe :

BagelAndCreamCheese :

ry6br6ad :

Like this is not a game I’m thinking a year ahead most of the time 🤦🏽‍♂️

The PLA’ Ground :

That onion analogy is genius. Maybe that’s why i love when my produce starts sprouting on my counter.

Nk khan :

Why is nobody talking about how interesting the different archetypes in Samara Rowe arche type quiz are?

“—-for simply wanting to survive”

shekah 𓃠 :

Overcame the most darkness hell yeah 😭

AmberRUTH⚢ :

This explains so much of why like recent friendships that ended did not work out. It was either I stopped surviving as flawlessly as I was because the situation got too hard or they didn’t wanna feel bad for like not wanting to help me because the friendship was based on animosity from the start.

Sharika 🌈 :

isaacsaunders93 :

you are 100% right for some in America it is called white privilege. For black individuals in this country we are like dust we rise.
