You are so brave to put your heartache out in the open and before that, go straight to confront the root of the hurt with an open mind, ready to understand and forgive. But never to be someone's door matt. I hope many read your words of wisdom and learn to deal with conflict with honesty and integrity.

Thank you so much, dear one. We have to create the world we want to live in— right? Not through tribalism of us versus them or making other wrong so that we can feel right, but through seeing our oneness and having a true desire for healing and integrity especially in the face of hidden contempt and outward betrayals. Humanity is better than this. We can do better. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

This is amazing! I finally had the time to sit down and read it slowly. This is really tough stuff, and you handled it so thoughtfully and bravely.

Lots to quote from, but I think this is my favorite:

"It’s a simple fact that if we continually find ourselves being the bigger person, we will grow tired of being around those who are comfortable remaining small.”

I wonder how many relationships die just because of that alone.
