All While Healing

HEALING CAN BE UNCOMFORTABLE!!

Chaos feels normal. Isolation feels justified. Boundaries feel empowering. But what about accountability?

Accountability isn’t just acknowledging, it’s about taking responsibility.

I once prayed for God not only to forgive me, but to bring people I needed to apologize to. And He did. One day, someone reached out with a memory of our work together. I knew I had ghosted them. In that moment, I asked for forgiveness. She shared how my silence felt like abandonment. That conversation taught me the power of simply communicating. I had to acknowledge that what felt justified to me at the time caused someone else to feel something they shouldn’t have. My silence left them with no answers, possibly even questioning if they had done something wrong, when they didn’t.

We live in a world where poor behavior is justified. But often, relationships, friendships, and opportunities are destroyed not by failure but by silence. We know how to TALK but lack the ability to COMMUNICATE !!!

Ghosting doesn’t just “protect your peace.” It can create rejection and abandonment in someone else. The feelings a ghoster avoids within themselves are often the very feelings they create in the person they ghost.

Remember: if you’re drowning, who can help you if you’re in the lake alone?
