would be toasting to becoming like more of yourself instead of becoming more impressive,\u201d she says poignantly. \u201cWe\u2019re in our body, we\u2019re fine with who we are, doing great,

I showed up for sure, but the only reason it\u2019s working is because everyone\u2019s showing up, and I don\u2019t even exactly know why, but I\u2019m really excited to see it and feel it and feel something that I\u2019ve gotten a little taste of now.
