Jordan, When you started this blog, I was (and remain) immensely proud of you. You are an amazing writer and what you have to say resonates with so many of us. THANK YOU for sharing your vision of: Who you were. Who you are. Who you hope to be. Sharing your journey is vital to your continued growth. I also recognized that there would be times that my words and actions, both past and present, would be depicted in a way that might wound me. I am human. I’ve made mistakes. And, as perception is reality, what I thought, or meant, or inflicted, regardless of intent, oftentimes, wounded you and made you feel, “less than”. I know that you’ve gotta work through those pieces and fragments that haunt you. And for contributing to those pieces and fragments, I am truly sorry. I, however, was prepared for my sometimes deserved comeuppance. I was, and remain, aware that there would, and will, come a reckoning. But that’s me. I cannot say the same for some others who read your heartfelt thoughts and feelings, and find themselves revealed — unaware that you would be releasing those traumas AND identifying their relation to you. Moving forward, please give a little more grace. A “head’s up” would be fine. Something akin to, “hey! I’m publishing something that might alarm you or, perhaps, hurt your feelings. I don’t want you to be blindsided. I just want you to be aware.” There is no need to change or re-evaluate the thoughts and feelings you need to convey. They are yours, and this blog is yours, and you must speak your truth as you experience it. Please continue to be loud and proud. Simply give respect to those of whom you speak, the respect that you, in-kind, would appreciate. “The Wound That Speaks.” Thank you so much for sharing💕
