Blanket statements- like other types of blankets- can give us security and a sense of safety.
“I don’t listen to advice from HER.”
“I never do things like THAT.”

SHE might have some great advice.
You might grow a little doing something like THAT.
Blankets have a funny way of covering everything. A blanket doesn’t always let you see the nuance.
But if you’re brave enough to emerge from the warmth of your blanket, you’ll see the nuance. And in that nuance lies the possibility for more.
