There is something so powerful about knowing what they think of you. We don’t always know, but when they do tell us or when you find out, there is this tremendous amount of freedom that comes from it.

Sometimes it’s painful. Sometimes it makes sense. Sometimes it makes you question things. Sometimes it just feels good, but it is always freeing to know. When you do know, you don’t have to worry about it any longer. There’s no questioning it. You know where you stand and the freedom that it brings – in the end – makes it worth it.
