the accident brought so much change with it. So many positive changes in the family dynamics. However, living in my family’s home again brings instances of feeling small and feeling young again. I struggle with the fact that I’ve worked so hard to be the person I am today but the feeling of being 16 persists when I’m here.

I wish I had started collecting my fingernail cuttings earlier to be able to fill it up and have this piece be officially done, but I guess till then I’ll continue to collect them and think about how to show growth to others through my actions.
