Dear Seaturtle:

“I was questioning my every move. Overthinking my own authenticity made me feel awkward. Wow this is a realization/ memory for me. I felt awkward in my body, and hyper aware of what I was doing, how I was standing or how to have conversation with certain people, how to be me“- ditto, this is MY experience, my past experience.

“This is interesting because as mentioned above, having a parent who shamed your authenticity led us to question what our authenticity was. Creating this desire to understand ourselves“- in all our communication, I never felt so similar to you, having so much in common.

I’ll respond to what I didn’t yet in the morning. I hope you are okay this evening/ night!
