7 years ago I worked at a small company of about 15 people. I sent an email to all my co-workers one Friday, inviting them on a weekend hike. Only one person came, a guy from the web dev team that I'd hardley spoken to.
Today is our 6th wedding anniversary. We're going hiking.
I can confidently say that the friends I have in my life right now make me a better person. It took a long time of feeling lost and lonely, but this supportive group around me is proof that it was worth the wait. It’s all in God’s timing. I feel so blessed.
