Thank you! I'm like she is real and it hurts. She doesn't have to fake smile and keke if she doesn't want too. The pain is real

Too heavy a yoke indeed. This was her being fully congruent, inside and out. So often, we're having to express emotions that go against what our bodies are feeling. I applaud her and I'm taking her actions as an example for me, I can express what my body is feeling and be congruent. That's a part of our healing.
