I really appreciate how you tie your childhood experiences into a bigger understanding of yourself. The image of you organizing shoes in the middle of K-Mart says so much, not just about detail and order but how you naturally interacted with the world. I super relate to how you describe the pressure to always be prepared, to predict everything. And that part with your hospital bag is the kind of thing that makes you stop and realize how much we actually know ourselves when we’re not second-guessing. This was a really thoughtful read, and I’m so very glad you shared it, thank you 😻
Thanks 🙏🏻😊 Angela. I appreciate how you take the time to leave comments.
It’s one thing to write so openly, to take off the mask of pretending… and it’s another thing to experience being seen. At first it feels strange, unfamiliar… like having gotten comfortable with the cold. Not knowing there was a warm shelter just around the corner. Then stepping inside that warm shelter and being able to take your coat off.
It feels good to be seen by you. 🫶🏻🙏🏻 Thank you for being you.
I really feel this. Because I know that feeling too. How easy it is to get comfortable in the cold, to not even realize there’s warmth waiting just beyond what we’ve always known. And maybe that’s what this is - stepping inside, realizing we don’t have to keep bracing for the wind. Thank you for putting this into words in a way I didn’t even know I needed to hear. I see you too.❤️
