"Positivity becomes toxic when it prevents us
from being able to speak honestly."
Kate Bowler
The repetitive message these days is regarding positivity during negative chaos. We are now groomed to hold a higher image of how things could be, in spite of the heavy truth weighing us down. It is necessary to speak our truth and not just prattle euphemisms.
Identification of our negative triggers is imperative while reframing higher perspectives. This does not mean, however, when we are in the midst of a specific opinion we abstain from voicing our truth just to maintain a positive conversation.
It is imperative, while sitting on a beach, to not extend the experience when our skin is being savagely burned out of fear of being disruptive towards others. It is this very thing, the inability to say 'no' that ravages the freedom to be honest.
