Potatoes part two

I have more things to say about potatoes (see last week’s newsletter for more context).

I’ve been thinking about how growth looks different for everyone.

Sometimes [growth is] holding yourself in place as you learn to be comfortable being in a different kind of way.

I am quite analytical. I can find it quite hard to talk about difficult feelings. I tend to be narrative first, then think about feelings. A lot of the time in counselling sessions, I have to stop and force myself to think about what I’m feeling, and how it’s affecting me physically or mentally, as opposed to the effect it’s having on my life.
