I chose clarity instead of hiding

Dear Delyara, That may be the financial progress I’m most proud of lately. Not more money. Less hiding. I looked clearly. Stayed. Let information be information before it became identity, shame, or panic. I am slowly learning that the numbers do not get kinder because I keep them vague. They only get more frightening. Clarity still scares me sometimes. But less than avoidance used to. That feels like movement in the right direction.
