Brief solo episode about my thoughts on a recent social media encounter and some of the underlying reasons why it may have gone the way it did.  I'll talk about my opinion on why the saying "misery loves company" seems so fitting and true in these types of exchanges and how realizing where a person is coming from can help you at least feel empathy for their situation.  The second half is a realization I had in explaining the importance grip breaking and gi training to a beginner student and how that relates to removing the obstacles that stop us from understanding our true value and distort our perception of ourselves.  I hope you enjoy, and i hope this helps anyone who may be struggling to love yourself.  Have a great week!
