Your essay touched me deeply, and I want to commend you for your strength and resilience. You're like that most beautiful tree that managed to thrive in the harshest of environments, and your words here are a testament to your growth.
I'm truly sorry that you had to experience your "Not This" in your life from such an early age. It's heartbreaking to know what you went through. However, your ability to turn that pain into something beautiful, something that heals not only you but also touches the hearts of others, is truly remarkable.
Thank you for sharing your story with the world. It takes incredible courage to open up about such painful experiences, and your words have the power to inspire and heal. You are a testament to the strength of the human spirit, and I'm grateful to know you.
Mmm... wow. So well written and deeply felt. Your grief is for the dad you wish you’d had. Interesting that there isn’t any real relief after his death but you said you lost him a long time ago. I don’t have a lot to say in response, just that, thank you for sharing. Thank you for becoming gentle and creative and loving in all the ways he wasn’t.
This comment means so coming from you. Thank you. Thank you. I'm so glad it resonated. And I'm counting the days til April when your memoir comes out. Sending love. xo
