Beautiful response. Thank you for helping me feel my humanity again. Everyone is judging based on outward appearances. We do not know the internal reality of others. Heather, I hope you continue your journey of loving yourself. I am 73 years old and am still learning more about me. More humiliation when I thought I was finished. It is all good.

You just blew me away, Heather!

I leave you with your own words, woman:

"JOY, MOTHERFUCKER. The joy of truly being here on this doomed planet, all cells wide awake, for once in your life. The thrill and the raw charge of refusing to hide. The enormous, deep deep deep happiness – an ocean of satisfaction! – that comes from understanding who you are JUST ENOUGH to replace your Fuck Off Face with an I’m Still Here and I Feel Pretty Goddamn Good Face."
