When I read this I was thinking it was about someone discovering themselves as the grew up and navigated through life with the many challenges that a young adult may face before they finally became comfortable living in their own skin and how they finally navigated themselves to that point so when I got to your footnote it threw me slightly to read that it was inspired by a TV show (one that I haven't seen)...to be honest I wish I hadn't read that part haha!!! Anyway thoroughly enjoyed it MA, well done.
