You know, it's so interesting that the context in which I most knew you was "that girl" you talk about here. What can I say -- I'm so glad I met that girl. Because that girl knew -- even then -- that she should never stop learning. And here you are now. Still learning. I love that about you.

Oh— tears. You know, I actually was just thinking about that the other day, and I think you said something like that to me when I was 15. Thank you for saying this today and then. I am so thankful for you.

Two days ago, I was thinking of my inner child (for lack of a better word) and absolutely thought of her as a little ghost. I’ve had tell me for years to heal the child or get in touch with the inner child, and it’s all been so abstract to me because my child was shut down really early. I was thinking that it is just too much work to try to figure out how to heal this toddler - reading. Her essay has reminded me that my own little ghosts don’t require that I analyze them and understand the complete process of healing. I just need to embrace them.
