My Ruminations: I’ve been thinking about the hurt, harm, and hatefulness I experienced from some of my family members. I’ve been thinking about how grateful I am that I am no longer in the circumference of affliction with them. While they yielded affliction and I was afflicted, I realized that the more significant issue was my insatiable longing to belong was not only unhealthy, but it was unrealistic.
