Dear Alessa:

I really appreciate the way you reflect on your experiences with clarity and honesty. It’s meaningful to see how you navigated your relationship with your mother, processed emotions in your own way, and found a path forward that works for you.

I admire your ability to prioritize growth and goals while also remaining self-aware of the different perspectives within yourself. Trusting yourself isn’t simple when different parts of you pull in different directions, but the fact that you recognize this shows a deep understanding of your own mind.

You wrote, “I don’t take my emotions too seriously. I lean towards goals.”- I think this means that when you experience strong emotions, you don’t let them completely consume you or drive your choices. Instead, you keep your attention on what you want to accomplish, ensuring that your emotions don’t derail your progress.

I think that a major goal you want to accomplish is being a good mother, which I think you already accomplished, and I admire you for it!

I mean, really, I admire you, Alessa ❤️!
