I’ll never forget what my mom said to me as a kid for me to value honesty, “Your word is one of the most important currencies you have. If pple can’t take u at your word bcus you lie, it’s going to be so unfortunate when you really need someone to believe you & they just can’t.”
Adult friendships require GRACE. They’re not ignoring you or “being weird” they’re battling something mentally. It’s not always personal because they couldn’t make your birthday. I’m sure they wanted to but finances maybe made it not possible. You have to think beyond just you.
And slowly... you will begin to feel like yourself again, and slowly you are able to see your own light again, and life begin to feel light,and slowly you will return back to yourself and reclaim the parts of you that you thought were lost forever.
