I loved the way you've used your the meaning of your name to frame this piece. The weight of expectations and confused loneliness is so relatable. Thanks for your vulnerable share.

I can relate so much to your story and I really admire your ability to express the energy and emotion that shaped you and your journey. I also feel a strong connection to my given name. I never had the courage to write about the challenges my parents faced before I was born, but maybe they needed the "bright light" that my name, Helen, represents. Like you, the pressure of expectations led me on a lifelong quest to discover my true self and a mission to help others find and share their own light. Your story has truly inspired me - thank you from the bottom of my heart. 🙏
