How to choose the right partner? By being aware. Most often in love, We don't see the totality of a person but only the parts we have always dreamt about. When you are aware of all your emotions and conditioning, you would see them as a whole and be conscious in your choice.

You are not over reacting. You are reacting strongly to the thing that bothers you. We focus so much on the reaction that we forget the underlying problems that cause it. The problem eventually gets burdened with shame and humiliation and keeps on piling up.

A history of traumatic experiences can give you a high pain tolerance. But just because you can tolerate pain, doesn't mean you should.

Don't be so driven into being the "vicitim" that your "healing" doesn't stand a chance.

The child who is not embraced by the village will burn the village down to feel its warmth. ~An African proverb.
