Wow Tam—brilliant reflective moving piece….I’m so impressed how inch by inch you peeled and went deeper than most could ever challenge themselves to.

If anything I hope this article reminds you how special, colorful, unique your inside is—and many are so busy with the outside I doubt they’ll ever be able to “see” how beautiful and intricate life is—can be.

You played with the can be—while still embracing this now—and as others have wisely said: often times we all forget—we all feel on the outside in some way or the other….

I think my mind always assumed I could talk to anyone I ever wanted—and when they eventually shut me out, it was then I felt so hurt. There are a few who have done that and I still can’t get over it.

Writing this to you is my —aha—moment. I’ve always been frustrated with myself at not just letting it go.

I think my mind says: can’t everyone be transparent? A selfish assumption perhaps—but I must realize what you eloquently wrote:

Everyone has an inside world. We must respect that inside world—and sometimes people just don’t want others in it.

Know this Tam—plenty of people like me—love people like you with multiple sides—we find you the most beautiful and fascinating to meet!! Because you’re authentic!

Thanks for writing.💕💕💕
