Amazing post. I always find connecting with past versions of myself to be magical and healing. Thanks for writing this.

Growing up as someone with a complicated childhood, engaging with art like this really helps to tuck all of the little mes away with a forehead kiss. It’s hard to grow up too fast and then find your body catching up with you. Thanks for saying all of this out loud for those of us who feel it quietly 🤍

happy birthday! i had to close my eyes real tight to stop myself from letting out a yelp and sobbing loudly after reading the section where you hold your teenage self in the bathtub.
