Not me reading this "If you’re listening to the audio..." and thinking I missed the recording bar at the top, and going back to check! Sorry I clearly haven't had my morning coffee yet. I am slow.
okay I'm back after reading. you mentioned this 'small intentional side' of him... and I have consumed enough media to expect a human centipede situation in the garage, another blue beard story, did he have a secret family? nonono don't tell me, I will wait for the next episode. I am invested now.
Hahaha! I love your creative imagination! 🤣 I think I was trying only to convey (maybe badly) that I didn’t always understand why some things were omitted or kept secret or just misconstrued. But just in case you think whatever punchline I get to will disappoint, I will say that if he had a secret family (although I wouldn’t put it past him 😜), I never found it. 🙈 So it is not something quite that dramatic but there is some drama…
Thank you, Maya! I acknowledge that there’s a level of privilege in that that I hope you share. 🥰🫶🏻 But I can appreciate that with some of the atrocities you report on, I’m sure those people aren’t always able to reframe traumatic experience and perhaps nor should they. My past is nothing compared. 🙈

Oh and I often listen to the audio option in the Substack app, so that’s what I meant but I did record some posts (awkwardly) around the #20 mark. 🙈
‘I like to see past experience as life lessons with as much neutrality as time and distance can muster.’ Adopting this immediately.

I agree absolutely that it is a privilege, Elaine. I was thinking more along the lines of my own dating ‘career’.
Haha! Yes! Now this we can always reframe however we like. 😅🧐🫶🏻
