I can relate to writing being part of the process - wasn't it Joan Didion who said "I write to know what I think" (or something close to that).

This whole piece is so beautifully written. I love the Queer Eye quote on letting people in. I totally missed it when I watched but it resonated with me a lot. I'm still breaking through some of the walls I built in my teens.

Thank you, Aurelie! It’s an ongoing journey for sure. And the goal post is always moving. I’m very much the type of person who’s always trying to be a better version of myself…each and every day, but am horrible at giving myself grace.

Sounds familiar 😅. Like I know it takes a million small steps to build progress but when it's so hard to keep motivation when the results of those thousands steps is so hard to quantify
