Sumaya, thank you for outlining this so gently. I have several of these trauma dumps floating around Medium I've been intending to hunt down and delete for a while. A few people have also received them in private, and luckily they usually knew to tell me when it was too much. I didn't usually get too far, and I'll be honest, it felt more validating than if they'd let me continue. But since the last person to experience this with me, I learned I never want to do it again. They were the most respectful of anyone, and just helped me see, without trying, how little I want others to deal with these things. Plus, I don't need people to know anymore. Maybe once it could help them understand me, but I'm not the same person I used to be. It's a new age, and I've never been more excited to advance. 💚🪷 I appreciate you, and hope you have a nice day. Take care.
