#detours

as she looked into her past, she noticed that the road she had traveled was no simple straight line. her journey toward fully loving herself and the world was full of forward and backward movement, twists, turns, detours, and even some pauses. at times, she doubted her progress, her potential, and even her power to change. but today, with the wisdom of experience at hand, she knows she could not have gotten to where she is without every movement she has ever made.

I recommended Detours to a friend of mine as part of a thing we do where we rec fics to each other from fandoms the other isn't necessarily in. She hasn't gotten very far yet but apparently she's already recommended it to another friend of hers who apparently likes it too.
