Thanks Alicia. Especially appreciating the truth and strength in these words, the passage below stood out for me. Glad you were able to be there for your friend.
I once heard that if we lived in a world of completely love, the thorns of a rose would fall off. I believe it. But just as we need a robust immune system in a world with many manufactured or edited “stuff,” as well nature’s diverse array of bacterial and viral expressions, our spice, our growl - and our ability to walk away, stand our grown, hold our own, refuse an explanation when one is expected if it is not aligned - are essential qualities of our sovereignty - especially as women, but I see the same need for confident assertion in most of the sensitive men I know, which is most of the men I know at all, in one way or another.
