Excerpt: Belonging Without Becoming the Same

I want to share an excerpt I wrote years ago for a now-abandoned book titled Notes to My Younger Self. I wanted my younger self to understand why she felt out of place in spaces that were meant to feel like home. I didn’t have the language for it then, only the experience of it.

Quote Expansion: The Movement Toward Something...

The Expansion: What we often resist isn’t the loss itself, but the meaning we give it. We tell ourselves that if something is ending, it must be a loss. But endings aren’t always an act of removal. Sometimes they are acts of release.
