that maybe a lot of growth isn't about making your failings and weaknesses disappear, but about recognising them and finding better and better workarounds. Not about struggling with gritted teeth to suppress your feelings that make no sense, but about being brave enough to admit you feel stupid things and then finding ways to avoid situations in which you feel the stupid things.
