This is so beautifully insightful! I've found that "following your dreams" is often gruelling, thankless work and every day I feel like I'm doing it wrong. But my therapist always says that these growing pains are a normal part of the process. Thank you for this post ❤️

Are you saving the next part of this ripening phase for another post? Because we all know what happens to ripened fruit... the softening of the exterior, the increase in vulnerability, the maturation of sugars to support seeds for the next generation because life is short.

Wait a minute, I'm feeling a little soft on the outside.

This sounds like a series now!!! Can we call it Drunkstack? Tipsystack? ActivelyCopingStack? ShakenNotStirredStack? JustPutMoreSugarOnTheRimOfTheGlassStack?
