tum, you're making me cry on this friday morning!! this is so genuinely you and so thoughtful. i adore how you point out all the big and little — the good, sad, and bad — things that come with moving internationally. i'm so proud of you for the life you've already created in london and watching you shine from afar ✭ also your dad's quote...tears, i love your parents 💌

Hey Tatum,

It’s Tita Michie. How are you? Your story is heartwarming. I think a lot of people can relate with you. Life changes in so many ways. How you acknowledge, accept, and embrace the decisions you’ve made and grew to be more comfortable to face the challenges in meaningful ways.

Just being away from everything you love has provided you with a deeper gratitude. It makes you wiser which makes you a strong woman. You know your worth. Right?

By the way, I’m a fan of run on sentences. I do it all the time lol Hope to see you again someday. Peace and Blessings.

Take care,

Tita Michie
