They have to play the catch up game!

I’m fascinated in the role shame plays in silence. I thoroughly enjoyed this article, Jess. “That’s a lot of tabs open and your nervous system feels it.” 😂 Okay! That really spoke to me! 💫

This quote sums it up nicely:” Instead of forcing yourself to let go be still, be present, let yourself feel, don’t run away, accept what is, and let it all unravel naturally.” —Yung Pueblo.” I plan to keep as a reminder.

Thank you, John! That quote really stuck with me too. It’s out of Yung Pueblo’s poetry book called The Way Forward! I highly recommend it.

I love this article, Jess! As the old saying goes, "Honesty is the best policy."

"The truth asks something from you." Those are powerful words, Jess!

Thank you so much, Eladio! And “honesty is the best policy” has been engraved in my head for so long now! Haha

The point about shame being amplified in hiding really resonated with me Jess, my family are always avoiding having the honest chats that are tough in the moment but never fail to feel less of a bother once we've actually had the much needed chat.

I find this to be true in my writing, Jess. Sometimes I can say the truth in a poem before I can vocalize it. It helps me process everything.

Some insightful points for me, hiding in plain sight, I wonder if our partners who profess to know us best see the hidden truths? I’ve been in that resentment loop because I’m more afraid of the truth and potentially hurt feelings than releasing my burdens. Thanks Jess!
