Sometimes words can't express what the heart does, palpably and unflinchingly. You created a world of a moment for me. Thank you for allowing us to witness you.

This was a really touching piece, and, I'm sure, relatable to a lot of us. Glad you were able to come to that realization in the end.

I randomly came across this piece but I'm glad I did.

1) This was beautifully written 👏🏽

2) Big props on showing up in a potentially triggering space and holding your own.

EDIT: I just realized I saw your profile on my notifications 😂

Still grateful lol.

Also, shout out to the work you and Cybele are doing (just realized why your face looked familiar). I told her, but the branding is on point!
