Thank you so much for this essay! So relevant for me, I had in laws visit recently and have been struggling to not be irritated over how different they are from most people I’ve kept around me in my life. Not being bff with your in laws is one of the oldest relationship challenges in human history, but this is exactly the perspective I needed to find my patience and understanding. I’ll be thinking about this one for a while ❤️❤️
I can't put into words how much comfort this essay gave me. I am currently on an exchange semester and it has been both the most beautiful and the most challenging experience I have had in my life, since it has brought up so many new feelings of insecurity and uncertainty. Today I called in a "sick" day, letting myself wallow in my room for the first time since months and I happen to find your page and this article. Thank you so much for writing about being obsessed with trying to become your best self, not forgiving yourself any mistakes. The sentence "In fact, I’ve reached a stage in which I don’t even need my menstrual cycle to justify how I’m feeling." felt really relieving for me and I see it kind of as an invitation to let go of the "life perfectionism".
