❤️❤️❤️Powerful. It’s also amazing what we learn in adulthood. I’ve been going through a rough patch & I just learned about a defense mechanism that I have. It’s so obvious, but I never realized it before. Sometimes we need the help of “others’ eyes” so to speak to help us better see ourselves.

I love memoirs so much and this sounds like a powerful one ❤️ Gosh, what would life have been like if I had the power as a little girl to hear from my future self: “We’re gonna make it”… You’ve really got me reflecting here. Thank you for sharing. And will definitely add this memoir to my TBR
