We are not just living through a loneliness epidemic. We’re also living through a shortage of relationally intelligent people who know how to actually be a good friend and show up well for others.
Your are not in your villain era. You are not evil. You are a sweetie pie who got hurt and has better boundaries now. You are fiesty with a pure heart. Remember that.
Remember this: even if you go for it and it doesn't work out, you still win. you had the guts to head into the unknown and try something that scared you. this type of bravery takes you places.
