Sometimes, I think we don’t feel like we can share what we are going through. There can be a couple of reasons for this, but most of the time, it is because we fear what other people think or might say about us. But guess what… what other people think about you is none of your business 👏
A lovely revelation I made last year: what other people think about me is none of my business. Granted, I am still working through this, but it works for the most part. At times, it is easy to share my story, at least parts of it. Day to day I don’t really care what people think about me but sharing the deepest parts of my story is where it gets tricky. When it gets down to the parts that very few people know about. It’s hard because you think about- how is this going to impact someone else. At least that’s what I think about.
My goal in sharing is that it helps someone realize they aren’t alone and that their story matters. Sharing it matters. It has a purpose.
We are going to start getting into the nitty gritty and beyond, so buckle up!
