Letting go of people can always be difficult, but it is essential when they represent sadness, disappointment, or pain.

It seems simple enough to "do the kind thing," grit your teeth, and keep the connection because you worry you may end up hurting them.

But guess what? The only person hurting in maintaining that connection is you.

By keeping the connection, you are feeding your sadness, disappointment, or pain. In the meantime, they have moved on. They are not there for you. Holding on to those links means you continue holding on to the pain.

The only one hurting in the situation is YOU.

This motivation video uses audio of the monologue Madea gives about this topic. There is powerful wisdom in that monologue.

I, too, still often forget this advice. I have to pause and remind myself that I don't need to carry unnecessary pain.

We either stay tethered to our pain, or we cut those ties to move on and live.

Those are our choices.

Please consider signing this petition to protect the Kinsey Institute from potential efforts to dissolve the organization and lose ownership of its Special Collections. For more than 75 years, the Institute has served as a trusted source for scientific knowledge and research on critical issues related to sexuality, gender, and reproduction.

"On October 27, 2023, members of the Kinsey Institute learned of plans to move the Kinsey Institute (KI) from its longtime home at Indiana University, Bloomington and into a separate 501c3 organization. This proposal is dramatically different from past KI organizational structures, which were designed to protect sensitive research data and controversial materials from state control. While this proposal has been couched in terms of protecting KI from recent legislation, it actually makes KI vulnerable. There is no guarantee that members of KI would control the board of any new organization. This would leave KI vulnerable to dissolution if a hostile board takes control now or in the future. The plan would sever the Kinsey Institute from the Kinsey Institute Library and Special Collections, which have always been a vital and inextricable part of the Institute. The Collections would remain under IU control."

Help Keep the Kinsey Institute Intact at Indiana University - Sign the Petition Now! 524 signatures are needed, let’s get there by the end of the day?
