Quotes by Lara Alspaugh (?)

“The truth shouldn’t always be shared. Your intention has to be true. Sharing the truth to rid yourself of guilt to lessen your burden can be hurtful. Sharing your truth with others so that they can lean into you, so that they better understand themselves, is a gift.”
― Lara Alspaugh, Last Turn Home
