shiv was not being altruistic nor intellectually self-interested when she voted against kendall. that was pure raw visceral desperation to maintain some semblance of dignity that she felt kendall being ceo would shred her of. sometimes people do not act in other people’s best interests or their own best interests. sometimes people do the wrong thing for the wrong reasons just because it feels like the right, the only, thing to do. shiv could not let kendall be ceo. she just couldn’t. not because she wanted to sacrifice herself to “stop the cycle,” not because she made a calculation and decided tom was her best interest — because the thought of kendall being ceo and acting like That the rest of their lives when shiv earned that job, she fucking earned it, that was too much to fucking bear. watching him sit in dad’s chair, conduct that vote, grin with entitlement and cockiness and certainty — seeing that elicited a visceral painful all-consuming sensation not dissimilar to overwhelming nausea that, summed up in two words, would simply be: fuck. no. she couldn’t live with that. she just couldn’t. it’s not kind. it’s not smart. it’s just human. painfully, destructively human. because sometimes, that’s all there is to it. not just for shiv, but for everyone. god knows roman and kendall have had those same feelings, made those same self-destructing yet necessary-feeling decisions throughout the show. why does it have to be different for shiv? why can’t she be painfully destructively human, prone to impulsive ill-conceived viscerally felt actions, like everyone else? why are we incapable of allotting her the same nuance and humanity (the good and the bad), the same trauma-informed self-destructive life-ruining hamartias, as we do her brothers? why can’t we fit a whole woman in our heads?
🩰You are the creator of your reality , you can uncreate or re-create everything in your reality. Your reality is malleable , your circumstances are also malleable.
🐰If you think that you have it ,the circumstances will be diminated. If you affirm that you have the thing / person you want , you can't even fathom the way your circumstances will change. Why ? Because it's the law & the law can't fail.
🩰You don't need to know how it will happen, you just need to know that it will.
🐰It's the law, IT CAN'T BE BROKEN ! IT CAN'T FAIL ! Your thoughts create . If you keep persisting, the persisted assumption must harden into a fact.
🩰When it comes to manifestation, logic doesn't matter , it's completely useless.
🐰As long as you are affirming that you have what you want & ignoring the 3D, the undesired circumstances will be eliminated & your affirmations will harden into fact.
🩰This is your world , it has no choice but to mold itself according to your assumptions.
Imagine a normally silly/calm/relaxed f/o standing up for you or defending you. Maybe they share some bold words or they wrap a secure arm around you, making it so you feel less anxious before you two leave the situation to ease your nerves. Their normally light-hearted tone in that moment was serious and seemingly fearless, showing the other individual that they refuse to tolerate disrespect on your behalf. Afterwards, they comfort and help to support you however you may need.
"Sorry if I got carried away back there, I just can't stand the thought of someone being so outwardly disrespectful towards you. You mean so much to me and I would feel awful if I didn't speak up, because you don't deserve that."
