Thank you for this!! As a 42 year old weirdo, I can say this is a great reminder not to be quiet. To not live in my head. When I was having a hard time parenting my teen daughter, I thought I would be the only one having these issues. I began to open up to other moms with teens whom I trusted not to spill the beans, and I learned that it wasn't just me. That was the best thing to come out of that situation. Knowing I wasn't alone and that my daughter wasn't either. It is harder for me to be as honest about what I go through for the same reasons. Reading this makes me want to try and be more me and not be ashamed or worried about rejection because of who I am. Now if I could figure out how to ask people to be friends:):) Thank you for writing even if it isn't perfect because what is that anyway?! I really look forward to your substack and all the things you share.
