You've touched on a really good reflection here: growth happens in moments of discomfort. I know it's the most awful feeling at times, truly... I also know how empowering it is when you're able to reflect upon your growth. You truly do deserve a flourishing and joyful life @creative_writer. And you are on your way, you are growing. I know you can do this. One step at a time. 💛
