Thank you for your words. it's a lot harder in practice, though. Everything changes, and the way people interact with us changes too. My first approach was trying to live out the youth experiences I missed, but I realized everything is different and it's impossible. It's something still hard for me to deal with, but i'm trying to find new paths. It's just hard not to find myself lying down in tears when I think about these things.
