No Fuel For My Triggers

Working on my triggers and not allowing my ego to stand in the way of better communication and bettering my relationships. Cause it's easy to run off emotions and not understand the message you're truly receiving. If hindsight has taught me anything is that once the emotions pass, we're able to see other perspectives, and the value or lack of, in certain situations to be able to move past it.

There comes a time where you have to look within and truly see the person you are.

And for me I didn't recognise or realise the person I had become.

Because I was trying to hide or run away, from the versions that didn't fit with my specific image or outcome.

Even if it meant being the worst version of G.

Failing to realise the consequences of my negative energy,

Impacting those around you, it's the funk that you taste and not see,

As it meant standing in my truth, admitting I'm wrong;

And who wants to be that?

When you're not ready to hear it, it comes across as a personal attack!

However that's my ego taking the drivers side;

Steering with the full motivation of pride.

But in the end it's me that had to decide

To surrender and get better

Not trying to always have the last word or even letter,

Weighing the value of the situations, cause in turn does it really matter?
