I’m ashamed to be part of the darkness…

2025/4/8 Edited to

... Read moreThe American narrative is often marred by the shadows of its history, particularly regarding the treatment of Native Americans. For centuries, indigenous peoples faced violence, displacement, and cultural erasure, which continues to resonate in contemporary society. As we reflect on our collective past, it’s crucial to acknowledge these injustices and consider their implications on current social dynamics. Many individuals grapple with feelings of shame and anger over historical events, leading to a desire for change and healing. The urgent need to foster a more inclusive and empathetic future is evident, as today’s children will inherit a world shaped by the values we instill in them. Addressing these topics openly can promote dialogue and understanding, helping to dismantle cycles of hate and violence. By fostering awareness and acknowledging the pain of history, we can embark on a path toward reconciliation and hope for a brighter legacy.

As a native, we do not blame everyone! We know the difference from an American 😊 to an AMERICAN 🇺🇸 🦅💪

For the longest time, I felt embarrassed to take my alprazolam. I’d hide it or downplay it like it wasn’t a big deal because I didn’t want to be judged. Society makes it seem like needing medication for your mind is something to be ashamed of — but it’s not. Once I started reframing it as self-c

Following Christ is not always easy, and this world will not always understand those who belong to Him. But Jesus never called us to hide our faith or be silent about who He is. May we be found faithful, unashamed, and willing to stand for the One who gave everything for us. #Matthew1033 #St

Things I Used to Be Ashamed of🎀
There are so many things I used to dim about myself, just to feel more acceptable. Now, I’m reclaiming every piece of me with softness and celebration. If you’ve ever felt too much, too emotional, or too different, you’re not alone. You’re just magic the world hasn’t learned how to hold yet
