Man, this one got my heart in a way I wasn't ready for. I feel this so much in my adult sisterhood relationships where I'm both the younger and the older side. I feel myself being mentored by my friends in their 40s+ and mentoring those crossing the teenage cusp of independence.
Aside from the emotional heart strings, the world would be a better place if everyone got off regularly.
Glad it resonated with you! Yes, it's kind of a weird and beautiful age we're at where we can both be mentored and start mentoring other ourselves, without any kind of structure or formalities. It's a beautiful thing!
Dear Tash, This piece is high on my list of favs (of which there are many) of your writing pieces. It felt most vulnerable and heartfull. I love the owning of the narrator's mentoring self. Her feelings of pride and the way her heart was touched by her young friends experience after reading the Orgasm piece. So lovely. I can see this as a scene in a play about these two women. The young mentor and her younger student.
Yay Chery! I am SO glad you liked this piece. It seems the pieces that come out raw and less pruned around the edges are, in fact, the realest. Bless you Chery! Always brightening my day with your thoughtful comments. Sending love <3
