My friend @fknroyal’s tweet yesterday about not everyone healing the same way had me reflecting this morning in my journal like… • • • Growing up intersex, I was often met with a kind of tough love from my family. They would often tell me at my worst moments that I should be grateful for what I have (which is true, but not what I need go hear in those moments.) They didn’t do this out of malice, but out of a place of love and fear for what would happen to me If I drowned in my sorrow in a society that punishes those of us who don’t “move on.” I’m hoping when you are down and out and balling in a puddle (or punching a shower curtain), you have people around you who can witness and then reflect back the realities of your pain all the while holding you and asking you what you need. -- source link
