kind of made me sad for you, then the needle scratched the record! What the what?! Girl .. a microbiology degree? Almost one of them laude things? There's no mediocrity in that! Shut your mouth right now! You're brilliant! Every bit of it, just own it already. Please. I'd beat you up if you was close by. You are the super power crazy! Blessings! You are inspiring.

Kim, thank you so much for your thoughtful words—they truly mean a lot to me. I can’t quite describe how much joy it brings me that you found my post inspiring and that you appreciate me and my work.

Rest assured, I didn’t mean to devalue my accomplishments in any way—I still think they’re amazing. I just wanted to be more transparent and acknowledge how small one (at least I ) can feel in a world so vast and full of incredible people, even while taking pride in oneself. Most of all, I wanted to share that instead of resisting that reality, I’ve learned to accept it—to embrace it as a strength rather than a setback. That perspective pushes me to grow even more, and I hope it does the same for others.

Your comment truly warmed my heart in so many ways. Thank you again! 💛
