Short answer is: Yes.
Because of the people in my life who love, value and appreciate me, I can honestly say I am validated in all respects. Did it happen right away? The validation did begin right away. As soon as I let people in on what was happening to me, I immediately felt a sense of authentication. I believe there is a vibration that recognizes truth. It resonates inside every human being.
In this age of relativism (not a fan), we often hear the phrase “my truth” or “your truth”. Truth and experience are not synonyms. Look it up.
Make no mistake, you may have your experience and I may have my experience but there is only one truth.
