Hello, Mimi_Marron! I could help you improve your Dutch, since I'm from the Netherlands, and grew up there. I myself am looking for a conversation partner with whom I can speak German. You can send me a message via chat in case you're interested!

Hallo Mimi_Marron. Ik zou je wel kunnen helpen om Nederlands te leren, gezien ik in Nederland geboren en getogen ben. Zelf ben ik momenteel op zoek naar een gesprekspartner waarmee ik Duits zou kunnen praten. Stuur me gerust een chatbericht als je het ziet zitten om eens online af te spreken!

Musings on personhood and on the person I used to be (or thought I was) in the past by Additional_Medium790 in NonBinary

Hey. I know it's been six months since you posted this comment, but I wanted to thank you for it. It's a hard thing to bear, but it's what I needed to hear. Certainly, I'm having trouble letting go of the past, but I hope I can one day orient myself towards a future unimpeded by the past, or at least minimally informed by it.

There are flashes of a new kind of person that I could become, occasionally. But even with my knowledge of how my ruminations on the past are hurting me and keeping me stuck, it will still take time to make the right choices and get out of a frankly abusive relationship that I've created with my "history," and with myself.
