I’m glad you are still here too, and also grateful to be alive and able to read this today. All of these resonate deeply. I can’t even pick out one (or even 5) that do more than the others.

I stared at your first sentences reflecting back at me exactly what I felt when I also turned 35 last month. Yes, I wished I realised all I know now much sooner, but reading through your very wise piece, I wonder, maybe it just takes 35 years to feel truly alive and truly yourself. And that is the best gift I ever received. Let's begin!

Mmmm YES I think about this often! Like, is it the therapy or the time? Probably, as in most cases, it's both :)
