You gave me a new way to see my story. I really like the part about the weaving, when I read it I immediatley imagined my tapestry of trauma, with bits of stingy tree bark, shreds of my thesis and pieces of chain and cable. I have been putting tons of energy into making that narrative flow, and fighting it along the way because trauma, and neurodiversity have distorted time and chronologic events. Thanks for your thoughtful encouragement on telling our stories.
