Your Body Is Speaking
There is an urge that feels like power — and in truth comes from an old wound. The urge to see another person suffer. To keep them small. To make them tremble when they meet your gaze. To control them, to humiliate them, to reach them — physically, emotionally, or through the power you hold over them. And in the moment you do it, you feel something that resembles satisfaction. Like greatness. Like possession of yourself that you find nowhere else.
