Lauren your sober journey, and how open you are with everything, is amazing. Getting past the shame of it and just going "yep, internet, I did this stuff and lied about it to everyone including myself" is a big deal. I'm very glad to know sober Lauren.
Years back, some folk in the city I lived in decided to make a proper show of Pride, with a full weekend of stuff. I joined the committee and got pretty involved.
One day after work I headed over to the house of the Chair to talk through some stuff, and the first thing she did was make me a giant omelette because she knew I hadn't been eating because I was broke.
This was the same person who also once gave me a winter coat, because I didnt have one and couldn't afford to buy one. I had that coat for a few years, before eventually passing it on to a homeless guy who came to the shelter I was working at and had nothing but a thin hoodie and thin jacket. I had managed to buy another winter coat by then, and it made a great extra layer for him.
I like that my near-constant crappy financial position eventually worked out well for someone else that one time😆
🧡🧡🧡 I am so glad to know you, too and so glad you know sober me! These words mean more to me than I quite know how to express, but I want you to know they mean so much to me.
And the kindness that was passed to you and you paid forward is beautiful! Thank you for sharing!
"I deserve to know my full potential. I owe it to myself to know what I am fully capable of."
Wow, buddy. This hit home. I love you <3
I love you so much, my friend and forever inspo 🧡🧡🧡

Moment of clarity in the garden
Maybe that is why gardens are my favourite place to meditate I just realised... WOAH! The clarity (and silence to listen) continues!
