Beautiful, Becky. Thank you.

I really resonate with this, too. I've found learning about masking on the one hand has felt very liberating. But then on the other hand it's been a bit like...oh no, was that me masking? Is that version of me even me? etc. But yes, I think allowing ourselves to be messy, complicated, nuanced beauties is important. That's growth right there, Becky! Re-read your letter and feel proud x

It's wonderful to see all the different images of you over time. I've always looked the same really. So much so that my primary school teacher recognised me 30 years later - when we bumped each other at a seaside town far away from home. 😂

I resonate with so much of this. Keep bringing those multi-facested selves to play and let them be heard & seen.

Jani x
