This is my lesson this week with a decades-old friendship. It ain’t easy but it will be worth the sense of peace in my life when their one-way passive-aggressiveness is gone.
Normalize not forcing connections with people who don't vibe with you. If they don’t see the value in having you by their side, don’t try to convince them.
Flex your lowest academic low score.
To remind us that almost everyone fails at some point in life but it isn't the end of the road. Just a memory in the end.
Mine was 27/100 in Engineering Math 2, just a year after I'd scored 99 in 12th boards. Much needed kick in my butt.
