There is something beautiful about having long term friends that have witnessed multiple versions of you and loved you unconditionally through each version
Lately, I've been including this in my prayer: "If I'm not meant to have it, Lord, please remove the desire from my heart to want it, and help me find peace in its absence."
I love people who can put their pride aside, apologize, and actually adjust their behaviour. That awareness, accountability, and emotional maturity is so attractive.
The older you get, the more you realise you don't want to have drama, stress, or conflict around you anymore. You start picking peace over drama and distance over disrespect. You start prioritising your peace, mental health, and happiness — over everything.
