“Matching energy is dead. I'm not matching energy, I'm just removing myself. I don't have no time to be negative, because you're negative. I don't have no time to be a liar, because you're a liar. I don't have no time to be toxic, because you're toxic. I'm just removing myself. I value love. I value genuine intent. . . Turning into people that don't value you, turning into people that don't respect you, turning into pain because you felt pain from another person-- that means that they're winning twice. Do not match energy. Children match energy. That means you're just reacting to life. Emotional intelligence is being intelligent with your emotions. Respond to people. Responding is giving yourself enough time to think about what's taking place. And when you respond, you respond from what you are. . . I love myself too much to turn into a pain that I was introduced to.”
