Hi @Squishy12456 What a great conversation to have had, thank you so much for sharing it with us. He does sound like a very wise and intelligent young man, I'm sure he really appreciated having someone as kind as you to listen to him. It can be so hard to find someone to listen to you without judgement and yet, you were able to offer him that. You should be so proud of yourself. These kinds of conversations are very eye opening and it sounds like you have walked away from it with a whole new perspective.

You also mention mentoring and what it means to you and how you are trying to offer the space you had hoped for growing up. I think is so important to have somewhere safe to go where you can talk free of any judgement and feel like you're being listened to. This just proves what a kind and caring soul you truly are. Taking on such a big responsibility can get very heavy though, so don't forget that you're not alone and we are always here for you 💜
