I can relate to this all too well, I've been in an abusive relationship and not sure if that is what is going on or if you are just writing about what it is but I do know that once you spread your wings and decide you won't fall THAT is the most EMPOWERING thing EVER!!! PS you are talented as a writer, from what i've read over these past few days!
Thank you darling for words of great encouragement. I appreciate it very much. Today Steemit was my therapy, and it was a relief. I actually can't believe how much of a medicinal quality comes from letting my keyboard take me on the journey when life gets turbulent. Wow. It is almost miraculous, and much more productive than screaming! Thanks again for being real with me! It is rare.
I am learning that as well, although I have been kind of apprehensive about being so open as you have shown, this encourages me to do the same, I mean, what better way, and you don't have to pay a therapist lol...you are absolutely right about the rarity of real! My goal in life is to gather as many "real"ationships as possible...Hope the rest of your week is full of greatness! Thank you for showing me that transparency is ok!
It is awesome that I can show you transparency because it is actually very challenging to be that forthright and honest with an audience. I have made an effort to be exact in my presentation of the mood I am in as often as I can manage. I realized recently that my mask was on too often and almost nobody knew the real me. It is a lot of work to maintain a perfect mask and it dawned on me - I was exhausted! Also;
nobody seemed to notice anyway, and why wear a mask if not to appear some specific way. I hardly ever wear a mask at all these days.
I completely get it!!! You have inspired me to keep the mask off even more than I was already trying to do, so thank you!
You are too cool! How long have you been at it here in steemit land? What do you do ?
I started my account back in september but was more in and out looking at others posts getting to understand steem sbd etc but really just started putting myself out there a few weeks ago.
