Wow, thank you for sharing your story. I'm one of those lower-level UXRs . . . . I can't tell you how much I appreciate your honesty.

Wow! I still remember you as the hopeful, creative undergrad I met nearly 20 years ago. What an amazing story you have had and how beautifully you tell it! It seems to me that you have discovered true success by being able to reflect on your experiences, change course, and find what's meaningful at every stage.

Oh wow! It's so cool that you remember me from all that time ago! What a great writing class that was for me - I only sharpened those skills as I went, and they continue to serve me well! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💗 Feeling very self-satisfied that you wrote in! I'm a teacher's pet, bone and blood.🍎

Beautifully written and so inspiring. What a beautiful ride you are creating. Your challenging journey and brave choices didn't "only" give you the thing you really wanted, but also made you sure your model is so fine-tuned (or at least optimising for the right objective function) before you become the container and wise guide of your special daughter.

Lots of love
