My journey so far

What powerful milestones - both turning 70 and finding words where there used to be silence. I'm really moved by how you describe this: not forcing yourself, not conquering it, but gently beginning to speak where speaking once felt impossible. Recognizing that the guilt and shame were never yours to carry is huge.

I'm really glad you shared this here. Your words carry a lot of courage and honesty, and the light you're noticing feels very real.
