Atoosa😭 I missed you so much. Child serial abuse is never something to apologize for not divulging earlier. We do it when we are ready. I feel so warm knowing you're back in my life 🥰

It’s comforting to read experiences that so closely parallel my own and I’ll swap the pronouns as I go. I am boarding Air Atoosa and settling in for the long flight!

I'm so happy to have you back! You and your letters - the first thing I read in every issue- inspired me to seek a career in magazines - though life definitely threw me some curve balls- I'm still writing/editing in a digital landscape. I'm so glad to have you in my inbox now in my 30s and look forward to tackling Earth School with you. <3 Lots of love!

What an amazing, daring message! You are such an inspiration, to all those who may be going something similar or not but can relate. Self-love should seem basic but the most difficult thing to do for humans. Thank you for breaking the taboos, showing your pure, open, loving, non-jidgemental self to set an example to everyone out there who needs a voice! You are THAT voice! Thank you for being back ❤️🙏🏻
