I loved going down this memory lane with you. Your writing makes me feel like I’m there, sitting next to you while you talk through the objects of the trunk and your memories flooding through.

I for one am so happy that this tough summer led you down a different path, because if it hasn’t, we might not have met and become friends and I’m grateful everyday for that!

I’m so so grateful that this summer showed me what I couldn’t admit to myself too - it brought me a friendship I value more than anything ♥️

Really enjoyed this perspective and the concept of ‘auto-archaeology’. It reminded me also of my own transition from fashion industry to software engineering. It’s fascinating to see how people discover they should shift direction, and what concepts they take from the old field into the new one.

Random aside: now I’m wondering if dyed red hair is a right of passage 😂

I’m glad this resonated with you!! And you’re probably right that red hair dye is something many of us go through lol
