I love this so much and can relate. I often say that I'm a work in progress. And I'm so happy you know who you are and that you're sharing all the parts of you here on Substack. It's a win/win.

These thoughts occurred to me as I read your essay:

"Taoism teaches us to be like water, adaptable and uncontained. That’s my expansion ethos: I’m not trying to fit into anyone’s cup. I’m the whole damn river." Living between the Snake River (dammed) and the Salmon River (undammed), I want to be the whole *undamn* river ;-)

"Here’s the best part of all this soul-searching: I finally know who I am, and it feels amazing." Here's what popped into my head, and I hope you won't think it is condescending: "Well done, Grasshopper." (Quoting a certain wise sage if you're of a certain age ;-)

In friendship, Joni

It’s so cool to get to know you through your posts. I’m curious what your Myers Briggs type is? If you care to share!
