I hesitated, then decided not to overthink a response. I just wanted to say, I've been following & every step of your journey has resonated with me. I'd been thinking of my younger self earlier in the week - asking, what was I interested in? Who was I when I thought anything was possible, that I could learn anything, that I could make anything work.
I know that feeling, a wisp of who you know you used to be & the grief when you realize how far you've moved away from that. How you've allowed your gifts of discernment & the ability to shapeshift become something that you barely recognize. And then you realized that it started with others but ended with you silencing yourself.
Going to be a long road back. Glad to see on the journey.
Thank you for not overthinking and leaving this thoughtful comment. It really means a lot.
I'm so glad to hear you're reconnecting with your younger self too. There's something so powerful about that. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of returning to who we’ve always been. We hear that phrase so often, but when you actually experience it, it’s not conceptual—it’s visceral.
For me, meditation has helped a lot. Whenever I feel anxious or triggered, I try to sit with the feeling and get curious about what's underneath. Most of the time, it's pointing to something I haven't fully processed or made peace with. And once I let myself feel it and understand it, the feeling dissolves.

The answers have always been inside, not outside.
I'm really grateful we're both on this journey.
