When speaking your mind hurts people you love.
People you love aren't always going to agree with what you think, feel, say or do. And that's okay.
Sometimes it is easier to act like everything's fine and just go along with what's "supposed" to be. But that doesn't make it right. For you and for them.
Speaking your truth and allowing yourself to be vulnerable might sound terrifying, and that's because... well... it is. You might lose people you love, you might put yourself in a place where you feel threatened and unsafe, you could feel really sad because you might hurt somebody...
So many "negative" things can come up when you finally have the guts to stay true to your own beliefs. But in the end of the day, those who really love you, accept you the way you are, and are meant to stay will stay. And the rest... let's say they might have served their purpose in your life and it's time to move on.
Ojo, that doesn't make them bad people. They're probably just as confused and shocked as you are, They're probably just as scared as you are. As heartbroken and lost. So there's no need to get mad at them or feel any kind of resentment, because we're all doing the best we can.
If by any chance these words resonated with you, I invite you to take a deep breath, and breathe out all the guilt, the shame, the sadness and fear a situation like this might be causing you. And, when you inhale, replace those feelings with confidence, self-assurance, love and certainty that every little thing will work out for your highest good.
