I am very sad that this happened to you. I understand how things hurt us when we are already wounded. But no one else gets to define who you are. Only you shall define who you are.

It is very difficult to write our pain and raw experience vulnerably. But it is the most courageous thing we may ever venture to do. Yes, the toxic ones will rear their heads and torch us with their words. But there are also supportive and genuine people on this platform. This is our space to write, connect and heal. You are brave, strong courage. Share boldly. I wrote this previously and I declare this day that you are a Beautiful Warrior:
