I relate so much to "I kept going". Me too. Through many years of compounded trauma on several levels. it's been hard. it's still hard.
two things I've realized at "getting close to 50"...
Regret is not a bad thing. it means growth has happened. if it hadn't, we'd not look back and wish it had been differently.
and instead of feeling ignorant and silly about myself for not knowing some things others seem to be surprised I dont know, especially about physiological or medical conditions, I thank God there are some health things I DON'T know anything about!
I'm rooting for you Leslie and looking forward to 48 more things that mattered!
Happy 50th - I’m so happy to have found your beautiful essay on not drowning, I also shared it with a friend. Happy to read more! (and I loved come as you are!)

Thanks for sharing, Roxanne. I really appreciate your support and kindness. ❤️
"Come As You Are" is an incredibly important book for those of us who were in purity culture!
Could not agree more. I want to shout it from the rooftops.
