Hoo Boy! So much has happened since my last post!
I’m sitting here, thinking about what I want today’s topic to be, but there’s so much to unpack and I’m not just talking about my suitcase.
I’m back home now, on this Sunday evening, mentally recovering from the past 38 hours and mentally preparing myself for the next week of work.
The weekend was a success. The car made the successful two and some hour trip to the next major city over (not gonna give you too many clues as to where I live). I picked up one of the other guests on the way since she technically lives in the same city as me, just a half hour drive to the other side… and yet we haven’t seen each other in over 2 years.
There were other college friends there who I haven’t seen since graduation, but it was nice to see everyone and reminisce about the old days.
There was good food, music, dancing, and an open bar.
But boy oh boy were there bombshells aplenty.
I won’t go into too much detail just in case, but the whole thing has left me unnerved.
I talked to three other girls who were all at the wedding about the bombshells and we were all sort of left with a few main thoughts:
- How do you support someone you love who has done something that you vehemently disagree with?
- At what point does love for someone outweigh all the bad things they’ve done?
Those are tough questions with even tougher answers. Especially since there is no correct answer and the answer can and probably will change over time.
But I know what it’s like to love someone who has done bad things and made bad choices. I’ll never condone those things, but I love this person enough to allow them to learn from their mistakes and grow. I will always support them, but I’ll also tell them when they’re being an absolute idiot.
