Thank you for this Anna. It resonated with me deeply as many of these insights are currently unfolding in my life as well. Not too long ago I broke up with the only woman I ever truly loved because she mirrored some of my deepest insecurities and parts of myself that I have sacrificed to gain other things or because I have been afraid to confront them. It's a process and this piece of writing helped me take a tiny step further in that process. Thank you!
