Isn't it weird how some learn to compartmentalize that connection? Like, keep everything so separated from everything else. I feel like I'm still learning how to integrate.

Thank you! Yes, she was very encouraging. And the first person to call me an athlete, which was super empowering. (Even if I can't quite accept the moniker, it did make me feel more in touch with validating that side of me.)
