Carry your shame in your teeth.
Spit
and spit and spit it out.
Doesn’t matter
if it’s in front of people.
They will (or won’t) forgive you.”
~ Tara Hardy, from “Cure” in My, My, My, My, My

Yes…yes…find it, expel it with emphasis and determination (minus the phlegm-y acoustics though😉).
Definitely minus THAT
Holding onto it, is poison. Spit it all out. 🙏🏻
Yes!
This is so visceral…love it!
It is!
yes, just wear it and discard it.
Exactly.
I really sort of love doing the spitting in public. Then, there’s no misunderstanding WHATSOEVER that the shame is not acceptable, nor will it be tolerated coming from others. Ptttuuee!
Laughing. Great!
Spitting now!
Good!
