Was just unfriended and blocked by my best friend (and her mom lol) who I’ve know since I was16 ys old because I spoke the truth and shared my real beliefs on Instagram. Damn. At a loss for words. Being Awake is not for the faint of heart. This is so painful. I’ve known her political/social beliefs (opposite of mine) the entire time I’ve known her, yet I still loved and cherished her as a friend, celebrated her at her wedding, and cheered her on always. #tolerance? #acceptance? #beyourself? #love? #wtf?

i hope this changes... waking up is hard and holding boundaries around it is hard. my sister is currently done with me. it is hard... but i will not go back to role playing or identity politics.
@helen. Thank you so much for your encouragement! Knowing that there are strong honorable people like you who hold the same/similar values as me is what keeps me going through these times. I am so sorry about your sister - that’s even worse when it is family. I can’t imagine that. Yes exactly!! - I am so done pretending, walking on eggshells and not being allowed to have a voice. Sending all my best to you ☺️💪✨
finding love that is not predicated on belief gave me the strength 🩵 freedom is freedom. my family is my chosen family. lucky there are so many of us.
Big tech social is shit anyway... Between the crap Ai, the suggested follows and the anger inducing algos. Recently got permanently banned from Facebook. At first the ripped off bandaid was painful, but exposing the truth rotting wound to the air and sunlight, I'm healing and finding a way more vibing tribe here without the nonsense. Glad you are here.
