You are a woman. We were given the superpower of intuition for a reason. While men gathered and hunted, the women stayed home, and it was up to them to keep the children safe to carry on the line. Most people have stopped listening to that part of themselves. They forgot how to trust in their feelings...
I am not saying whether you are right or wrong. I am saying there is a GOOD reason you are feeling the way you are. Trust in yourself. You do not have to lie to #speekpeece. You just don't have to bring up the subject of the man that causes you worries. You can still wish for peace in your country. Who wouldn't!!
But pay attention to your gut feelings. They are there for a reason.
No one wins by running away. Trust me, I tried that. It doesn't matter where you go if you are not at peace in yourself. And leaving for a new country leaves your family to fend for themselves. If everyone leaves, who is there to fix things? And WHO is there to decide how things should be fixed.
I loved reading your honest reply to Dreems fabulous post.
But remember, peace starts with a drop, a smile, a pat on the shoulder, helping someone carrying a bag, getting to know your neighbors, becoming an active community, coming together...
But it all starts with one tiny drop...
Many, many, many HUGS! And prayers are being sent your way.
You are very brave. I am in Awe of your truth.
