Happy weekend sis.Thanks for sharing your story.☺️
It is beautiful that you have reached a point where you no longer wait for the "understanding and kindness" from others that you lacked as a child—you are now providing it to yourself. That is the ultimate form of healing.
But as a former teacher myself, I can totally relate to why your teacher scolded you! Hahaha! Picture this: a lecture or a discussion is right in the middle of something serious, and then suddenly, someone just starts laughing out of nowhere.😁✌️
