What do you do when you go to a wedding, and you see someone from middle school who bullied you 20 years ago? That's what is happening now. So many mixed emotions. Part of me wants to punch him in the face, part of me wants to just say hi and smile. Or avoid. 😬 Ugh

This may sound harsh, but I am realizing that people don't care about your story. I believe they care about how they see themselves in your story. So if you only share the good stories, then you miss the chances to connect with people who have experienced similar bad stories.
