Amal Kiswani on With Love, Amal

hi ashley, wow, thanks so much for leaving this comment and taking the time to read it. it was so scary to post and frankly i feel like it's one of my worst pieces - but here you are again giving me that little boost that i need. i don't know how the algorithm knew to being your piece to me, but i'm so glad it did. i really, truly needed it in that moment. it was definitely hard to survive that anxiety but thankfully i am on the other side and doing my best to accept myself fully - we are all on that kind of journey, one way or another. getting older just forces you in that direction - just like you said! the best part about writing this is that definitely helped me me distance myself from that version of me and realize how much we've grown. i think maybe your piece made you feel that way too? again, thanks for taking the time to read my piece. sending you so much love back!!! <333
