Such a beautiful, honest, empathetic and hopeful post, Gerda! I imagine I would have read it differently depending on where I was in my journey of the last two years, but each time I would take something different from it. I used to want to rush to action or understanding or acceptance, but really I’ve just had to trust the stories and advice here and have faith that it all happens in time. One foot in front of the other, guided by values and not feelings if possible, and it will all come. And while you’ve been away I’ve been writing every weekend, have been curious to see the latest transformation my novel has undergone since I’ve been away from it for two years. In that time it has evolved too. I hope you’ve had a good break!
