What do you do when you grow up and realise that to continue growing, you need to grow apart from your family? I have been asking myself this question a lot recently and here, these entries, recount my desires, fears, hopes, and raw experience growing up.

This is a story of integration, trauma, and the powers of compassion, grace and unconditional love.
