I write about the quiet things that make us human—hope, courage, loss and the lessons hidden inside our lives. Retired principal. Cancer warrior. Still learning
A very insightful piece, Racha. Keeping the peace is a natural reaction for many of us. It is much easier than "rocking the boat." However, when it comes at the cost of losing who we truly are, that is a terrible price to pay. Best to be honest and true. :)
Thank you so much, Leonard! I completely agree. True peace should never come at the cost of losing ourselves. I’m learning that being honest with ourselves is just as important as being kind to others.

Rocking the boat feels risky in the moment, but losing yourself to keep it steady costs far more.
