Absolutely needed to read this tonight! I even invalidate myself sometimes - the culture we live in is hard to escape from and it’s amazing how it can live on in your own thoughts even. I’ve definitely reprimanded myself for wanting an “experience” and now I know that’s not my voice or belief, but just what I can sometimes feel when I attempt to talk about it with others. Their misunderstanding- not only invalidating but also silencing.
