You write really well! I've made my fair share of mistakes too, and looking back, they were all part of my learning curve. What would you say your biggest mistake was, and how did you grow from it?

It's a mistake I repeated (and occasionally still do!) many times - letting others walk over me and compromising my needs for fear of being abandoned by others. It bled into so many areas of my life growing up, so being able to stop making that mistake and hold my ground when I need to has been a game-changer. Thank you for the kind words!

Yea I totally understand. Setting boundaries in situations like this is so important, and I’m really glad you're standing up for what you need now!
