I resonate so deeply with your words. It took the shift of enduring some pain for me to see that I need to care for myself because no one else would. I ponder if these storms of pain, for me are forcing and pushing me out of spaces that I need to move away from in some deeper universe /spiritual sense.
I felt so angry at how those two unloaded on you and Valentina and treated you so horribly.
I know it is painful. I am still reconfiguring from my fallout. I am believing it is a clearing and purifying phase. I believe we both will attract genuine relationships forever more. You deserve warm, deeply empathic, genuine relationships with people that value each aspect of you and your life.
And I would have opted for Cuban food or any food or staying in and eating food.
