My sixth attempt at commenting. Medium does not like me today!

Good girl, Tamil! I love the self-talk and memories part - I cherish that too! Also, remembering what people are wearing - I have turned it into a mnemonic. (your comment on my writer's block post!). At the ripe old age of 50, I finally realized I don't have to apologize to anyone unless I hurt them--no apologies required for what I need and want. So liberating. Yes, the real charm of living--rightly said! 💜
