THE BETRAYAL I NEVER SAW COMING

THE BETRAYAL I NEVER SAW COMING.

I was in my twenties—young, hopeful, and perhaps a little too trusting. I confided in a friend and colleague about the frustrations and politics brewing in our work environment. What I didn’t know was that she was recording me.

She played the audio for the MD and other decision-makers.

She got a promotion while I got hostility and silence, until I eventually resigned.

Years later, someone told me they bumped into her. She confessed that everything I said back then actually happened. Every concern I raised unfolded before their eyes and as fate would have it, she eventually became the epicenter of the crises I had once spoken about.

I won't lie, betrayal has a taste. And it’s bitter. It bruised something in me but I chose not to let it define me.

I took responsibility for my own error: oversharing without discernment. She may have recorded me, but I gave her access.

We were both wrong.

So I did what pain demands of us, I turned it into character. I used it to refine my discernment, sharpen my boundaries, and deepen my emotional intelligence.

Betrayal is a brutal but brilliant teacher. Lean into it.

Lick your wounds. Then learn the lesson.

Because the goal is not just to heal, but to evolve.
