For when you've been wronged...

Hey You,

I've missed you. A lot.

There are days when the clouds feel so heavy and ennnnndlessssss. The longest night is the 21st and then the light starts to return gradually.

A great time for introspection. Even though it feels like getting kicked in the teeth sometimes. 

A recurring phrase keeps coming to mind, "Two things can be true, about a situation." 

I detested that for a long time. Growing up indoctrination had me believing that there was one ultimate truth. 

No. There are facts and logic, and then there's subjectivity. It's made seeing things in black and white, impossible. 

And what does that mean for justice. We tend to use all three (facts, logic, and subjectivity) in the court room. But what about the wrongs that never go through that process. How do we heal from them?

It's hard. And I don't know that I have a one size fits all solution since we are all so different. I've had to get creative cause I tend to fixate. 

Drawing the pain, mantras, singing, crying, screaming, are all in play. And sometimes for the wounds so deep I gotta pull out the candles and cast the circles. Nothing wrong with speeding up karma. Just make sure it's worth it and not because someone flipped you off in traffic. It's gotta be for the wrongs that cause ripples and hurt multiple people. 

I don't want to be owned by my anger, but I must also process and release it. If it goes abandoned for to long it shows up in my life in unexpected ways, like avoidance, fear, sickness. At that point am I free? 

So, yes two perspectives can be true, but at the core of every life event is fact and logic. 

Anyway, I hope your day is filled with sunlight and an abundance of warmth.

All my love,

Amber
