Part 8 of Confessions of a Late Bloomer is about the heartbreak that doesn’t look like heartbreak—
The relationships that almost worked.
The people who almost chose you.
The kind of love that makes you question if crumbs were ever a feast.

This is a reflection on almosts—
The ones we mistook for love.
The ones that taught us how to stay too long, hope too hard, and silence our knowing.
But more than anything, this is about learning to stop reaching for potential and start reaching for what’s real.

It’s about knowing you were never too much—
You were just never meant to shrink.
