so you dated the wrong person and learned a hard lesson. you cherished a friend who backstabbed you. it sucks, but it’s also going to work out. that’s life; you learn, hurt, love, cry, laugh, and keep going. you experience setbacks and you grow and it’s all okay.
Instead of baby showers, I want to be invited to "career showers" where we celebrate my friends' new jobs and big career promotions. I can give them gifts like snazzy folders and planners.
