I face ethical and moral decisions regularly - its the fallout of having a loud, somewhat-intelligent mouth. You need to learn self reflection, apology where suitable, the making of hard decisions about who is right to keep in your life when you too hold yourself to high standards.

Its also the blunt reality of coming from a cult family and community, you’re surrounded by traumatised and hurt people who sometimes choose cheap and easy paths to respond to critisism - lashing out, threatening legal action to name two I face regularily.

I wondered if this substack may be a place I can record those ethical dilemas as I face into them, record the grief and heartache that sits behind them. Give context to hard decisions?

Maybe all that will come of it is me making another writing ‘thing’ that I’ll half-bake. Who can be sure. Strap yourself in kids, it might be wild or it might be inane.
