“I am not free while any woman is unfree, even when her shackles are very different from my own”

listen to yourself and watch your language.
instead of saying “sorry for ranting”, say “thank you for listening to me”.
instead of saying “sorry that i am overemotional”, say “thank you for trying to understand something difficult”.
instead of saying “sorry if i am a burden”, say “thank you for the time and energy you invest in our friendship”.
good things will come when you realize you are not an apology.

this is so important. it helps absolve you from self-deprecating thoughts the more you practice this!

this is hard
