When I was a teenager I didnt want to date any of the boys and was perfectly happy alone. My mother asked (accusingly, suspiciously) if I was a lesbian and my instant reply was that with her as the only (horrendous, abusive) example of womanhood in my life it would be impossible for me to be attracted to women. But now I wonder if she derailed me.
I can relate to the over sharing so much. Judging what and how much to share is a constant left over from a time I would spill my guts to have friends want to help “fix” me.
I love that you are learning from nature--the best teacher so true and so real. I have trouble sharing because I have trust issues. I have since learned from the black birds, the crows who talk loudly sometimes in my neighborhood. There is a balance and I have to listen more. Love your writing, I have been inspired by you many times.
