Thank you for sharing with us, Christina.

I am 28 years old, and sometimes, I feel like I have lived in this body for way longer. There are things about me that seem so normal, that only after someone else walks me through, do I notice how much I have built systems that would not survive without my past.

There are things I am yet to share; things I hope are lies. Things I fear would become true once I admit them.

I wish you well on your journey and thank you for encouraging me to take the time to embrace — fully — the gift of the community that is Medium.

Sending you best wishes and love.
