This came together so wonderfully, M! I love how you kept your own voice here but added in suggestions. But suggestions aside, as I said previously, those last few paragraphs really hit home. It's been a journey for you, absolutely, and to see where you are and how you got there is excellent. And you should be confident in and with yourself. You, as yourself, are perfect as you are. And may we ALL carry the confidence during our journey to keep trying to better ourselves as you do. *hugs* <3
