Thank you so much for this video! I always find your recommendations and perspective to be so unique, and I love this one! The cover of The Road to the City is beautiful. The connection you made to trauma bonding is really interesting. It sounds like a sad story-it’s always difficult for me to read about children who are required to suppress their emotions because, as you said, it can take years to heal from it, and the heart of a child/teen is so fragile. I also love the advice for aspiring writers and can totally see why it's true. I agree with you 100% that as adults, we have the responsibility to provide a safe and open space for the young, to guide and support them unconditionally. I like your view of the unknown as a metaphor for life, and your perspective that we have all the answers within us. As we navigate through life and search for them, we should aim to always act with kindness, empathy, and compassion. I wish we could all approach life with this kind reminder to be human and to be kind to ourselves and others 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Great video!
