Hi all,
I have been overwhelmed by the support and kindness from this community from my original post. Would be curious if folks would be interested in an update? I’ve experienced a ton… enough to maybe say I’ve entered manhood in some regards.
Dearly personal though, how everything transpired and also seeking advice — just not sure if it would be wise to ask this platform for it.
