You formulated such a complex topic in excellent words! In my journey, I’ve left behind what I call the “secret voice” that’s shared in my family and community. It’s when people say one thing out loud, and whisper their true thoughts to someone else. I can’t stand it & it’s very disingenuous of a communication style.

That secret voice is sometimes so loud. Part of me knows it’s a bad cycle and has compassion, and another part of me is angry and distrustful! Sending you care as you grow beyond this 🫶🏾

It’s common for those who have yet to find comfort in the truth. The truth brings me most comfort, so I am super sure to use it always. As for my family, well, that’s their own personal journey.

I agree. It’s a old and new journey for me. Things I thought I had processed, now in new motherhood are rage inducing. And so it goes. Learning, unlearning and everything in between 🤎
