I think I really needed this and it also helped me process my own tendency to start and stop and feel shame about it (while admiring those who kept things up). thank you for sharing this and I'm excited to read through more of your work!

paola!! such a personal, human, authentic piece you got here that I can really relate to. starting and persevering are two different beasts and ive yet to really know which is the bigger one for me. love your storytelling and am glad you persevered through writing this one :)))
