To everyone who shared their advice with me on an earlier blog from last week, my greatest appreciation to all you lovely people.
I took what each of you said and paired that with the right timing of my situation and got my voice back.
Though shakey at first, I spoke my truth and allowed myself to be vulnerable. I also went a step further and placed myself in the others shoes to see how I would feel if I had done something that I was not aware of and hence received the confusing actions that I had given that person and I apologized.
I didn't apologize because I had done something " wrong" but I felt the want to apologize because I had chose to place the past in the present and was transposing on the current person the mannerisms of another, knowing that there is a huge difference in the two and that the current one has never and would never intentionally hurt me. For me, I felt that was unfair to him.
I know these blogs are not a learning tool, but they are a way of reflection, outlets, and people here are starting to feel like family. As with any journey even though it is our own to travel it is always welcoming to get advice and hear others stories, cause as my father has always told me " the details may not be the same, but we all have been through something so there is something to learn from everyone we meet and even if it feels like it, if we just listen to the stories we are told. We find out that we turely aren't alone."
Once again, thank you to all who are gradually becoming friends for your advice and following my journey and listening to my story.
