In the last week I was very open with a 'friend' about my life. VERY open and I shared honestly. She said she wasn't here to judge, and was glad I was happy.
LIAR MCLIARFACE!
I returned home from an amazing BDSM conference/weekend to find a card from said friend. As soon as I saw the envelope I knew what I was about to read..
"Just because you are happy, doesn't make it right. I cannot support your double life and destructive behaviors....you are so far from where God wants you...i'm concerned for your son if things don't change....i care for you and am always here if you want to talk (ummm...not going to trust you enough to do that again), need advice, or want someone to pray with." She also told me it would be best not to bring my son to her daughter's birthday party tomorrow.
I will be honest, this shook me. It has been a very hard week. But these two songs have been on repeat in my head all day long...
I will continue to be me. I am happier than I have been in a very long time. Why? Because I am living more authentically and being true to myself. Yes there are still many areas in my life, many many family members and friends that would likely react equally as bad. So for now I will remain closed to many. Lesson learned .
