Safe Spaces; Continuing the Conversation
I confess I have not always been the safe space I want to be, but I'm always working on improving myself. I also recognize that some people have expectations for me and others that are completely unattainable for most humans and I simply cannot be all things to all people - no matter how much I love them and wish I could be more perfect.
If someone asks me to keep a confidence, I will keep it. If my heart is breaking over health or financial concerns (whether mine or a that of a loved one), I might reach out for emotional, spiritual, and physical support. Even in those situations, I will go out of my way to protect privacy and despite all the efforts to protect those I love, I sometimes fall short. However, two things are still true; I love you unconditionally AND I need community.
