data points

Lately, I’ve been let down by some people at work. It’s been one of those stretches where it feels like every time I try to trust someone, they show me something… rather shocking. And yeah, it sucks. For a while, it stings. But I’ve realized that these disappointments are not just some wounds that I need to nurse, they are also my data points to examine.

Every time someone shows me their true colours, it’s like they’re handing me a piece of the puzzle. It’s an opportunity to adjust my lens, refine my boundaries, and decide where my energy is better spent.

So, to anyone out there holding back their truth: don’t. Bring it on. Show me what you've got. Maybe I’ll need a moment to regain my composure, maybe even to grieve. But in the grander scheme, thank you for showing me what I need to see.

To the ones who continue to show up, stay real, and inspire me: I see you, and I appreciate you even more because I know how rare that is.
