Lena: Have you ever had one of those days where a single comment from a coworker or a driver cutting you off just completely ruins your mood? It’s like they handed you a heavy weight and you’re forced to carry it.
Blythe: Oh, I’ve definitely been there. It feels like they’re in the driver’s seat of your emotions. But there’s this powerful Spanish phrase, *Quien te enfada, te domina*, which basically means "whoever angers you, dominates you."
Lena: That’s such a heavy realization. It’s almost counterintuitive because we usually think, "You made me mad," like it’s their fault. But this suggests we’re actually giving them permission to control us.
Blythe: Exactly. It’s like accepting a gift you don’t actually want. If someone offers you an insult and you don't take it, it still belongs to them. Let’s explore how we can stop handing over our power and start reclaiming our emotional space.
