I used to censor myself.
I held back from sharing my experiences in healing my body and what out-of-the-box strategies worked.
I avoided championing concepts like medical freedom, informed consent and personal responsibility.
I stayed silent about cultural issues.
I filtered out my faith.
But then I realized that my social media community and the people that found me here and then met me in real life didn’t actually know what I was about.
I saw other people online sharing perspectives and solutions that I quite frankly disagreed with and didn’t believe were effective or TRUE for me and I felt the urge to share my own thoughts. But something kept holding me back.
I also noticed it wasn’t helping my my stress response.
Finally, I recognized that if I did share more of myself and my beliefs, if people took offense, that was their decision.
If my thoughts about the world and my values make them no longer like me, well then they never actually liked ME and they probably wouldn’t enjoy workin with me, lol.
In a world of 8 billion people we are not all going to agree on everything.
Heck, I don’t even agree on everything with my dear friends or my husband, that would be weird, right?!
Speaking what we believe and what we value or see working is a choice that we can all make to know and represent ourselves better in this life, to ditch the shame and proudly proclaim things we know to be true.
And other’s choices to be offended by our thoughts, values end beliefs is exactly that, their choice.
Don’t let other people’s choice to be offended by you stop you from sharing yourself.
The people that need to hear your message and need the encouragement of seeing like-minded folks will find you.
You’ll feel better for just being you.
I’m not saying be combative, violent, mean or wicked, because well that’s “your truth”.
But I am encouraging the people here with unpopular beliefs in 2021 to not be afraid to stand up for what you know to be right and true, to what you’ve tested in the Spirt.
If people choose to be offended, let em’.
Light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.
