@smithtimmytim very strong and very courageous when one steps out onto, and follows, their own path. 💛
@smithtimmytim well done Timothy for speaking your truth and following it through. I think Covid gave many people the chance to get out of situations that weren’t serving them - the other (more positive) side of this pandemic. At first it can be a shock when your family shuns you (like you said, you’ve been there before) but what it shows is you’re being uniquely you. I’m an ‘all or nothing’ kinda gal so when i find people who love me for who I truly am, it just makes me shine even brighter. And the ones with the problem, they have a narrow view of the world and that’s ok too. Let them go, you’ve outgrown them in the shininess stakes 🤩 and can find your universal family, who adore you, in more adventurous places ❤️ Your letter was sweet, kind and strong. A good energy to leave them with. Have fun out there and keep laughing.
@smithtimmytim can't really beat Holly's energy, but props pal.
You might be surprised to find some of them reconnecting with you in the next few years. You may also find yourself seeking some milder spiritual practice which fulfills some of the good bits they had.
Good luck!
@hollyhoneychurch oh my goodness. Thank you so much for such a kind and thoughtful reply.
@smithtimmytim Thank you for sharing this, and for taking a courageous step for yourself and what you feel is right. Sometimes the best and most important decisions one can make in their life are the most difficult. However, those same decisions are also the ones that come from having strength of character and determination.
