THE OLD ME WAS NECESSARY

With therapy, I began to realize that the girl from then was necessary because she became the woman from now. And I had to thank her for the work she did and the person she was, because she led me here. Then I had to thank the me now, in her thirties, who is more aware of herself, the strength of her voice, and the world. I couldn’t be me without her, so my shame was not needed. I needed to give myself grace and forgive myself for my mistakes.

I had to be kind to that girl from then, the one who was afraid to call herself a writer because she didn’t think she could measure up to the title. That girl could’ve never written this book, could’ve never confidently shown up in these rooms that I’ve been in and done her best work. The person who used to talk before she’d think could not be the person with the platform that I have now because I wouldn’t use it as responsibly as I do now.

But that girl had to exist so I could write about her and her mistakes and the things she had to learn through the fire. Luvvie 1.0 had to be here so she could grow into Luvvie 3.0, who could write this book.
