on the topic of thinking about gail stuff, something i would like to note is how beneficial this period of time has been to me

really able to explore myself and come into my own individuality, ofc never done but i think it has been really enpowering. been able to become much more self sufficient and independent, and feel so much more capable. obv none of this is to say i dont need anyone or anything

bc i get tons of help from others, specifically financial and resources from parents, but also emotional stuff from friends. but im able to be a lot more happy by myself.

and im sure some of that is like ive always been p introverty, but having the opportunity to feel out my own limits has been super great. ofc not perfectly voluntary interactions always but more control in that department
