Thank you Sab for articulating the very season I’ve been going through. 💋 Life has its (very) weird ways of bringing you back to your truest self — the challenge really is you want to live.

Welcome aboard. I'm not a female but I think I understand what you were getting out. I to have been away for awhile and get it. I think I understand. You inner you is still within you as you've been told. They never really come back but we can take that knowledge and learn from it. From everything I've read, you have much potential in you. Not knowing you personally, I can tell you will reach the things you are looking for. You got this. I started following you because something in your writings got me. Now I'm hooked. Follow your heart. Follow your dreams. Be you. ❤️

I remember vividly, how i was in summer camp after first grade, a seven-year old, sitting in a shared group room. The camp counselor was selecting people for upcoming sorta-humour-art-intellect competition, she asked, who can make a joke, remember a bit, come up with a poem on the spot. Several boys raised hands, among the girls - only me. I was absloutelly confident in my head, that I can do it, zero back thought that I was going to be on stage, judged in front of 100+ people in the audience. When the competition took place, I enjoyed the tasks and got pretty far despite being literally the youngest.

And then I continued growning up and then I experienced the world and then I got hurt. Thank you for bringing back the idea, that I can try to nourish into bloom the qualities I once possesed.
