Good Friday #610: Triggered (Friday, September 14)
There you are, going about your life. Then something happens that reminds you of a similar experience you've been through - and you completely have a breakdown.
You weren't even aware that your experience had such a profound effect on you to begin with.
You've been triggered.
This week I saw countless stories across the web of people - women mostly - who were triggered by the Grand Slam final. So many women transported back to a time at work/school when they were accused of cheating when they were being excellent; or not being subject to the same rules as everyone else. I think this sentiment sums it up:

Good Friday #609: Williams-Win Situation (Friday, September 7)
"Blowing out another's candle does not make yours shine any brighter." -Unknown
There's always this notion that when two people who look similar/are in a similar field/are going for similar opportunities - that there has to be a fight to death. Only one can "win". I've always been struck by the Williams sisters who compete fiercely against each other on the tennis court, but who are also each other's biggest supporter.
