Hysteria was a diagnosis used to pathologise women who didn’t follow society’s script.

If a woman was grieving, outspoken, showing emotions, didn’t want children, wanted a divorce, or refused to obey, she would be seen as mentally ill.

Women were controlled by men and institutions. Husbands would have their wives committed to mental institutions to be “treated”.

Hysteria was eventually removed from the DSM as a formal diagnosis in 1980. That really wasn’t that long ago.

These days although Hysteria was removed, they would just label their wives as “crazy”

Imagine you could reprogram yourself and discard the old version of you.

  1. What attributes, values, and belief systems would you install in yourself?
  2. What goals would you want to achieve by the time you reach your deathbed?

The hardest soil to cultivate on this earth is not rocky ground. It is the unpredictable depth of human nature.

Let’s be honest.. jealousy rarely admits it’s jealousy.

Have you ever disliked someone who had done absolutely nothing to you, only because you noticed how much attention, admiration, or desire they received ?
And before you say...
“No, I just didn’t like their personality…” ask yourself...
Would you still dislike them if nobody else wanted them ?

Maybe what we call standards are sometimes insecurity in disguise.
Maybe what we call intuition is sometimes envy dressed up as discernment.
Maybe what we dislike in others is an absence of what we don't have in ourselves ?

So here’s the uncomfortable challenge..
Think of someone you genuinely dislike for no real tangible reason.
Now remove their popularity, beauty, success, confidence, or desirability from the equation.
Would you still have a reason not to like them ?
Be honest.

If you found out your future spouse had made a serious mistake in the past but genuinely changed, would you judge the mistake or the person they became?

Be kind to everyone, but don't give everyone access to your heart. Give it to those who know how precious it is.🌸😒
