It's the telling of all the people in my life, which were in many ways more difficult than experiencing the trauma for myself to have to go in and be honest with each person in my life. And to recognize that every time you go to tell someone, they may be in a very different place than where you are. So in the cultivating of relationships... I talk about You know, my life is this tapestry.

Well, practically... I listened to Fortnite by Taylor Swift on repeat a thousand times. Anything by Taylor Swift. And then I will say also, movement is still really important for me.
