“I felt like text tussling today…but I refuse to thumbs down the chat. That’s what’s expected of me every time my ‘family’ simulates the removal of my vocal cords so…I’m choosing to sit with my silence. Which was making me angrier. Then the words “it’s okay to let go” interrupted one of my thoughts. The obviousness of that sentence felt like blatant disrespect. Until I added “of”…and made a list of everything my silence is allowing to go unchecked. I was expecting to feel this miraculous shift in my energy but…that’s not how healing works. So I allowed the fullness of my feelings to mark off each box…with no expectation of immediate gratification. By the time I finished…I finally understood why forgiveness isn’t for the other person.”
