Talk to Fa

It’s not often I meet people who can meet me where I am. Maybe fewer than 5 people in my entire life have truly given me that. I met one of them earlier this week. I was introduced to her by a new friend. We met at her home and spent an hour together. She learned about my quirks and recognized them with softness, depth, and love, with the level of awareness I’ve only wished others had. I really, really wanted that as a kid. I am starting to meet people who not only see me for who I am but also tell me, in words, why I am gifted. It is a shift. A much-needed one. I grew up without compliments or positive feedback. Through these new connections, I am remembering my power and gifts as I heal my inner child.
