The tension, of being pulled to please two things you loved and of knowing even as a little girl there may be more out there for you than just m-o-m, was beautifully captured. I wonder at how truly I was always "myself", when I think back on my own early knowing.
I loved the essay and especially Hilde's painting of you!
I love that painting so much. xo
“…not everything I was sure of would stay.” Gah. Your words always move me. I loved this so much.

✨I love you.
