What a beautiful story of a meaningful summer, touching on so many human themes around feelings of belonging and first experiences. I can’t wait to read more :-)

“This is my life, and these are my people.” - I feel it echoed throughout this whole piece. This is a really beautiful essay.

So beautiful. Those moments of connection, when we feel not like we have to "fit in" but that we are embraced as we are - may we experience them, and help create them for others. So lovely, Julia. Thanks for sharing
