Still thinking about the pediatric psych nurse who told 12 year old me not to believe people who told me those were the best years of my life, because it would get way better.

She was right. It's been decades since that conversation, I don't even remember her name, but I'm so grateful for the tiny ray of hope she gave me that day.
