Is safety and trust the same thing? Safety is the ability to communicate freely, to be yourself one hundred percent and know there will be no repercussions, punishments or other negative reactions when one person is expressing themselves. It’s about open communication, knowing you are valued, and seen in any moment. This means, we feel safe to be honest about what we are feeling and thinking knowing that we don’t need to feel self censor. That we are walking on eggshells, worried about the other person’s feelings or reactions. It doesn’t mean we are mean or insensitive.

So I decided to freeze my eggs. At the age of 38, soon 39, I decided that doing the things within my control would help with surrendering to the things I cannot. The decision was not something that as evident to me right away, it came with time. I write about this thought process in this earlier blog.
