This was so so SO good! I need to read it again because it touched on so many points. My experience with telling the truth has also been traumatic. In one particular incidence, I told the truth to a powerful person (my former boss) and in the process I lost someone I considered a friend -- because they chose to be loyal and protect their career. For a year I could not get over it. But now I’m at peace with it. I take responsibility for HOW I told the truth, and not for telling it. And I’m much more cautious about telling the truth because it is a double edged sword. THANK YOU for this lovely essay ❤️
