Life advice while applying makeupfrom @paigelorenze

Transcript

I stopped seeing the people who hurt me as villains and started seeing them as mirrors, and that is when everything in my life changed. Their patterns revealed their insecurities, but my reactions also revealed mine. I feel like I've learned so many lessons and had so much growing up to do especially now being in the public eye for a long time. Your life literally changes the moment that you learn how to regulate your emotions. For me personally, it was literally like unlocking a superpower because this is one of my favorite things about myself, better I love people deeply and I feel things deeply, but it was also what was holding me back and hurting me the most by far. Without regulation, that sort of depth of feeling can leave you feeling incredibly drained, reactive, and just vulnerable to narcissistic and unsettled people who see your sensitivity and reactiveness as an entry point to create chaos and try to tear down your life because all these people want is control over you and your life. And when you are reactive, you are very easy to manipulate. So to be totally honest with you guys, I used to really struggle with this. I think that I would have been this way regardless of if I did social media or no. This is just sort of like in my bones, but some of the people that will hurt you will make it impossible for you to stay the same. And I think that that is so incredibly important, and I hope that this reaches someone that can learn something from it.
