Oooooof well there goes the water in my eyes; this is so well-written, introspective, the pacing is lovely, and my goodness if the line "labels are words on a map...not the place itself..." doesn't get me 😭 Thank you for this, Maia. (Happy first substack comic!)
Rereading this post 2 years later & so deeply touched again. Being Maia's mom, I've witnessed (since day one) such an amazing journey of Maia growing, changing, becoming & finding her true self. What an honor! You are so beautiful in every way and I love you beyond words.
