“I know you say isolation lies, but I didn’t really understand what it meant.”
“Now I get it. Five minutes in and I was already getting it.”
That was a message from someone after our first group sessions.
It’s funny because it seems so obvious to me now, but before it smacked me in the face like a brick full of my own decisions, I didn’t get it either.
Now, when I feel like I’m the only one who has ever felt this one thing, whatever that one thing is, I know to just open my big mouth to anyone who will listen because odds are, they know.
Even if they don’t know, they know.
I was confident that by giving people a place to say the things out loud and the right tools to understand how to traverse the next time, that we could make their lives just a tiny bit better.
I knew, but I didn’t know.
Then it all happened like I imagined it in my wildest dreams, and I knew but I still don’t really believe it.
Seeing it happening in front of me really put a deep imprint on my brain, and I will go hang out in the chasm any time I need a reminder about the why.
Because isolation lies.
She knows it now. You can too.
Come hang. Isolation lies, so don't be alone.
