Dear Tiffany,
You have so many fantastic people in your life. You are so lucky.
Let yourself sit with that truth.
Let yourself consider that it might not just be coincidence, and that you might not be somehow sneakily tricking them into liking you.
Hold some space for the terrifying and amazing potential that this actually is your life, and these people actually do want to be in your life, and you can be a flawed and imperfect person and still have this community.
(Resist the voice that says now you have to earn it. Resist the idea that you ‘deserve’ this because of your hard work, with its collateral belief that you can lose it by not working hard enough, and with the retroactive blaming and shaming for the times in your life when you haven’t had this because you weren’t working hard enough.)
Just be present with the fact that you are here and this is your life and this is your community.
Love,
Me
