Octavia! This is so beautiful!! And unedited?? Wow. I'm so impressed by what flowed from you so naturally. Absolute perfection.

Thank you for sharing your heart, and showing us an intimate part of your soul.

I'm so sorry to hear you've experienced bullying and that you've had challenges with communication because of your accent. I think accents are so beautiful and they add to a person's uniqueness. I'm only fluent in English - had a smattering of German in the past, and have been chipping away at Italian but am getting nowhere fast (need more time and discipline!).

So I am simply impressed and have huge respect for anyone who speaks more than one language.

Thank you for this beautiful sharing, Octavia, and I am deeply grateful to you for the shoutout and unexpected treat of having you share one of Witchy's and my stories!!! That means the world to me! Thank you! 💜
