I can't thank you enough for this. The only way I can find to express my gratitude is simply to tell you the timing of this reminder feels divine. It's impossible for me to understand why people are questioning my lived experience right now, but you've reminded me that it’s not ever really possible for me to know why they are in the first place. And honestly, it hurts just as much whether I know why or not. Whether they are scared or it's too painful or difficult to acknowledge or they just aren't ready or whatever the case may be. It's painful there are people close to me that don't understand how much I need them to acknowledge my reality. No matter what the reason for their inability might be.

Very helpful. The why leads to a lot of rumination and stunts our growth. Thank you for sharing.

Agreed. There is often limited utility to ongoing of questioning of "why?" - I like the call to disengage from this rabbit hole.

Realizing the ‘Why’ doesn't matter is how you begin to move on and heal.

Pure gold! These words though... "we can’t let the lack of clarity keep us from accepting reality" are 🔥! Thank You!
