truth, honesty,anger, wisdom
What do we do when someone’s truth changes our own truth. You can not un-ring a bell, un-toss a salad,
un- scramble and egg and you can not un-learn a truth. When you now realize that what you thought someone was in your world it completely turned on its ear, what is next. This happens with family & friends and it would seem the easiest and most used way of dealing or not dealing with these disappointments is Denial. However there comes moments of clarity that make denial impossible.
Stunned is step one,
anger is step two,
hurt is step three,
Step four can be change or acceptance or both, you may try to change then succumb to acceptance.
I have found myself facing these steps over and over again in recent past. Friends going through difficult times, family expressing their truths leaving my own truth floundering for stability. I love change and growing personally, I prefer to do it on my terms but this is not the way this game is played. So I am strong for my friends & family in need, hoping that I can help their journey be a little easier. I continue to work through my own disappointments and realizations using the wisdom I have earned & hoping for more wisdom every day. As I read my words I feel stronger even though the tone of the words seem blue… Positive growth doesn’t always come with a smile… however the smiles will come… I never doubt that…
Cheers to wisdom…
