There’s a story here, but the words keep falling flat. Last week, she crossed over- without warning & we are left shell shocked. Everyone who knew her said, “she changed my life,” followed with an authenticity story. Myself included. She had demons & she’s free from them now. That brings me peace. She never sat still, she deserves to rest. Now, she sees herself like we did. Now she’s got freedom- from ego, what she gave us. Our story starts a long time ago (shortly before this picture was taken). She was my cousins 1st girlfriend, forced her out of the closet. Something I didn’t even realize was a big deal- the 1st light shined on the “conditions” in our unconditional Love based family. We discovered Conscious Creation together- thru the Lynda Dahl books & “You Can Heal Your Life.” We lived together. She created my 1st home. I didn’t know what it was like to matter- until she put a sheet on the couch for me. Such a silly thing to leave a deep mark. Good Lord, she LOVED food, slightly more than dancing. She was a networker. If you knew her, then you got 6+ random phone #s added to your list. Glorious people who are trusted, cuz “Brooke trusts you.” Your tribe. She was fire & ice. She’d teach you how to breathe, then knock the wind out of you. On to the next project, job &/or state. You couldn’t catch her. But I did. I was there thru almost all of it. Festivals. Break-ups. Cross country move. She was my daughter’s 1st babysitter & she’s terrified of babies. She cut me off during Covid- went to a dark place. I tried to find her, but she cut everyone off. She was good at disappearing. Last year, I saw Yonder at a festival & walked away putting an ISO on fb for her. That got me talking to her cousin. 2 days later, she sends me a text. We talked for hours before realizing she didn’t know about my post. Accidentally hit my name, trying to text someone else, & decided to send a message. THAT is why I needed Brooke. I had been thru hell & was able to verbally process it w her. She got the same therapy thru me. A year of intense processing.

A few minutes ago I posted this question: "Is it possible to be triggered without being a victim?" — and both responses interpreted it as witnessing someone else being victimized. I had never seen it that way before! So let me try again. Is it possible to be triggered without a victim story running underneath it? What do you think?
