This is beautiful though. And know what, yeah, I'm sensitive, feelings go way up and way down and that's just a fact of life. I appreciate reading even just this one quote from your old teacher today. ✨ Reminds me how much unforced love is out there. And i don't count biological attachment, that shit'll just cause more problems. Don't even get me started on 'ownership' and the only thing my mother being proud of is that I'm "a lot like her." Maybe I returned to this thread too soon...
