I miss having Gail's perspective on things. I feel really isolated now when I'm unsure about the world. I can turn to my parents, but they have mislead me before and have too limited of a perspective. Someone my age with the relevant understanding of what is required and normal

was very useful and comforting, even when the advice provided was not comforting and instead challenging. At least then I had a standard to approach, now I know that I am lacking but am unsure about in what ways. It's a broad anxiety that everything I'm doing is incorrect.
