Heartbreak. As bad as it feels in the moment, I honestly think something wonderful happens to a lot of people after a heartbreak. There’s a period of rediscovering who you are… And redefining yourself. It can be so utterly transformative and life-changing, in a good way.
The “friendship” term gets thrown around way too loosely, if I was to narrow down my friends, I have about 3. It’s okay to have acquaintances that you get along with really well but the word “friend” carries a lot of weight for me and it’s hard to just give anyone that label.
