Prentis Hemphill Instagram – This is a gratitude post.
The greatest lesson I’ve learned in the past four years is how much everything happens in community. I’ve been afraid of it in the past, if I’m honest. My greatest fear has been that I’ll be seen, that I’ll share what I really care about and I’ll be abandoned because of it. It’s happened before and it’s hurt. But the truth is, mostly, people have stayed and built with me. Even when I tried to run. Held my dreams sweetly and trusted me with theirs. I’m filled with gratitude for enduring relationship and the support I received on tour for What it Takes to Heal. It’s changed me.
