btw in your 20's and 30’s you’ll start rediscovering the niche interests and hobbies you had as a kid. it’s very important you revisit them. your younger self was actually on to something.
at least you showed up authentically. at least you moved with honesty. at least you were direct with how you felt. at least you communicated openly and maturely. at least you tried. at least you never reciprocated their cruel behavior. your actions are a reflection of you.
