Congratulations!
I'm a young adult man but the story still hit me and loved it because of the vulnerability and being personal. The same way I like some break up and love songs (like Taylor's, who's also personal and vulnerable and in her songs) even I haven't been in a relationship. Also, made me think about the transition I'll have in the future, which I'm anxious and not ready for.
From the very beginning, I imagined the scenes because of the way you described it. The story really did great regarding the prompt.
What a beautiful comment,and so thoughtful as you find a way to relate. Us human beings are alike despite our differences. May you find love and joy, and ride the waves with grace.
