20 Oct Own your emotions
“Nobody makes anybody feel anything. Understanding this is the first step to claiming something very precious – your own emotions. … Remember, it might be easier in the short run for me to dump my feelings on you when I feel bad; it sure is tempting to make how I feel all your fault. But when we blame others for feelings that truly belong to us, we disempower ourselves. If it’s your fault that I feel bad, I guess there’s nothing I can do about it, so I’m stuck. Only when I am willing to own my emotions do I have the power to change and grow.”
From The Ethical Slut, a Practical Guide to Polyamory, Open Relationships and Other Adventures, by Dossie Easton and Janet W. Hardy
