What they say you are is not necessarily the truth of who you are.

In isolation, we assume we are in it alone. In connection, we find support, commonality, and companionship.

How affirming it is when you can be a full person—shadows and all—and still be loved!

Don't blame—seek to understand.

Instead of judging one's character, consider their circumstances.

When we blame the circumstance, we continue to have respect for the person. When we judge their character, we lose respect for that person.

Just because truths seem to change, it does not mean they are lies.

The fabrication of the story is where divergent truths emerge.

How you feel and how you respond is your responsibility.
