Oops!! I'm so sorry it took me a few days to get back here to highlight, clap and comment after publishing. Sometimes scheduled pieces get away from me and I haven't been feeling great the past few days, so although I thought I'd come back and got all the scheduled ones, oops. I missed yours.
Anyway - I really loved this piece! You did such a beautiful job of highlighting what's important and treating your younger self with so much compassion and patience and kindness! It was really beautiful to read. Thanks so much for sharing this, and for choosing HHH to publish.
PS - I know this was also 'homework' for you...I hope it got a good result! 💜💜💜
