I think experience shapes us and makes us who we are, and I wouldn't want to be a different person in a different place now. I just also think that I'd never... realized. All that.

Sometimes, it's weirdly freeing -- or maybe satisfying -- to realise that you can spot those things now. That those experiences have made you grow and you now have the knowledge and wisdom to look back and see the situations more clearly.

You do deserve a high five for that.
