Thank you for this important reminder. I love the idea of imagining reading your list to yourself five years ago. Past me would be staggered at me having pieces is national newspapers and running a thriving writing community. And yet it never seems like "enough" for present me. Reminding me to look through past me's eyes really helps to reframe what I've achieved this year. ❤️
