Natalie that was, sorry, that IS a work of art. I really love what you did with the prompt, I think most people can probably relate to some elements of your story and some will be shouting at the screen in recognition or frustration!

Thank you so much for being so vulnerable with us all and allowing us a glimpse of what it was like for you.

The very end: "Permission. Fucking. Granted." Fantastic ending!

Omg thank you so much for saying it is a work of art 🥹… there was a part of me that was terrified of admitting I felt that way lol

I am so glad you liked it 😁 … and hehe, I loved ending it that way!! It felt like this powerful statement I made to myself then but also throughout time.

Thank you for reading and commenting 💙

No problem at all, it is only what the piece deserved! I think if you felt terrified but did it anyway then you have succeeded.

As my friend Yannis reminded me earlier today, “You have to feel fear to have the opportunity to be brave.”

Oh man, that sounds tough. The trauma does stay with us… it’s so sad to see how kids have always been treated by the world… always being made to feel wrong for being who they are… and then we wonder why the world is in the shape it’s in.

Thank you for sharing!

E é muito bom te conhecer ☺️💙
