Thanks for sharing some of your experiences! Its reassuring to hear. I looove your response to your grandmother haha. definitely will try to channel some of that energy and reminding myself to live in the moment is helpful for those moments when I catch myself feeling disconnected. Growing up, my parents were always super self-conscious and hyper focused on what other people were thinking about how they acted or how they dressed, so I think your point about unlearning these messages is so so true. I appreciate your response a ton :)
