One, the updates I see on this site from 22 years ago have me feeling surreal and somewhat old. I'm still surprised I made it out of my youth without dying. I accomplished some things along the way. I'm a pretty good adult, and it surprises me all the time that I made it here. At 40, I feel like I'm finally an adult. I sometimes long to change some parts of my experience growing up, but I'm wise enough to know there are things I cannot change, and the past is one of those things. The only path forward is to continue to show up for myself, as I wish I could have done for my younger self. She deserved someone to fight for her, to prioritize her, and to keep her safe, and for the rest of my life, not a day will go by that I do not do this for myself.
Want to let everyone see how you're feeling?
