This is a masterpiece Shuga! ✨✨

You articulated your intentions well while being vulnerable but not too emotional. Your adept storytelling and introspective reflections provide a captivating journey of self-discovery. Your candid exploration of past responses to challenges, along with the theme of embracing choices and their consequences, showcases wisdom beyond your years. Embracing your past is a way to understand your present to make better life decisions. This story is an inspiring reminder for everyone to actively engage in their personal growth journey, as it ultimately leads us to living a more fulfilling and genuine life. I wrote a longer version but I decided to drop the shorter version hereπŸ˜…

I strongly agree with the closing thought that the journey to being self-aware doesn’t flow from the present and that it begins with a visit to the past.

I always liken this to driving a car. In as much as you drive a car forward, you'd always need a rear mirror to see what's behind you to make informed choices about the direction to steer your car.

This is such a beautiful piece and I enjoyed reading through.

Thank you Shuga ❀
