Thank you L. A. Parker for reading and leaving your encouraging words on my piece. I’ve always been floored at the reception that this piece received, but I do believe this is one of my favorite articles that I’ve written. I was really proud of my achievement and I took a long time to reflect on what I learned during the entire journey. I still have a lot to learn but it’s really fun to see how far I’ve come. I really appreciate you taking the time to read and comment on my writing! Have a great rest of the day, wherever you are :)
