Aww, this one really moves me, Doreen. So relatable. What teenager hasn't done something they later regretted? I certainly did. Your willingness to share this memory reflects hard-earned wisdom and humility. Those things are worth far more than a clutch of red flowers. Beautiful post. ❤️
That's some serious honesty and humility Doreen. Thank you for your authentic share. Beautifully written. This one evoked a lot of emotions in me--a difficult reminder of what was not present in my adolescence. I am sitting with this raw emotion and letting it move through. Thank you for sharing. I love that picture of you!
Thank you for reading and your uplifting comments. They encourage me to continue to be brave in my writing. This was my way of making amends to a friend from long ago.
You're welcome. Yes I felt your amends and applaud you for your reflection on that version of yourself from long ago. Transformation is not easy but I feel it's where the "gold" of life often reveals itself to us. Your openness and courage to be authentically you is beautiful. Keep going love. I want to read it all!
