What a poignant post, sharing your journey of self-discovery. You summed it up well.

Couldn’t relate more. Firstly, my own Substack, entitled Tumultuous True Stories, consists largely of my writings from my youth. Like you, I’ve left grammar, syntax, inaccuracies, AND problematics (in my own case) intact. Remember when TWO SPACES followed a period?? I am also your age--well, one year older, but who’s counting. Finally, I have a 13-year-old son, and to read your boyhood writings from this era in your life just melts my heart. Thank you for sharing. We need more real glimpses into actual humans in this postmodern hellscape of 15-second blips of “trending content.” Much love.

Lindsay
