I’m a few years older than you and this brought back lots of memories of my college days and international travel. I have 8 boxes of all my photos in the basement that I’ve been fearful to go through (prior marriage and lots of memories). It’s not necessarily painful to think of, it’s just that I’ve avoided wanting to go down that rabbit hole rather than looking forward. Your writing here is now helping me see this in a different light and that it might shed some interesting insights. I’m going through some transitions with feeling overwhelmed with work and obligations and having less time for joyful fun— Maybe it’s time to take a look at the younger me and see what it unveils! Thanks for this beautiful post.

Ooh, i love this so much. What a great look back at you at 20, at Cambridge and all it brought, and the younger self who turns out not to be too different from the older self. A riveting read. thank you.
