I Want to End This On a High Note....
Today, has been sort of a day of "reckoning" for me...
Some truths came out that I have been waiting for DECADES to hear. I am not gloating, nor saying these are massive wins; because if anyone knows what this means, they know how deep this scar runs...
I am not going to get into the deets about this particular conversation, but let's just say some people who have been very stuck in their ways, (just as I have been VERY stubborn, in my core beliefs); we have come to a massive "plateau" (so to speak), when it came to these massive differences. To hear someone admit that there are lies in the bible and that it's more of a premise than a truth; was a HUGE deal to me.
I am not saying this is a "victory" because it was never about who was right or wrong... It was and is more about, broadening people's mentalities and minds to bigger possibilities. I feel a weight has kind of lifted off my shoulders with the conversation we had tonight...Life had literally come full circle. The questions I asked as a mere child were now asked with much more knowledge, (and still the craving for MORE knowledge and understanding)... I feel today I got some really honest answers from people that have always shunned my own personal struggles. I guess in a sense I felt validated FINALLY!!!
It was nice to be viewed as an adult among those who always treated me child-like. I don't know what overcame me, but someone, or many someones, gave me the courage to approach the subject with finesse and genuinely being open minded to not just the communication that was happening, but also the comprehension. All in all, I feel this part of the day, made the visit I initially dreaded, a decent one. I have to admit, I was glad to go.
I hope you all have a blessed night. Stay safe. Stay warm/cool. Be well. Be blessed. Most of all, Be loved.
