Sometimes you just need to hear how much you mean to someone.

You will never forget a person who came to you with a torch in the dark.

Be cautious of connections that feel like home if home wasn’t always a safe place for you.

So many people from your past know a version of you that doesn’t exist anymore.

You can’t change the people around you, but you can change the people you choose to be around.

Your circle should want to see you win. Your circle should clap the loudest when you have good news. If they don’t, get a new circle.

It’s important to make friendships that are deeper than gossiping, drinking, and hanging out. Make friends who you can have deep conversations with. Make friends you can cry with. Make friends who support your life goals and believe in you.

I’ve built more relationships with people by being open about my struggles than I ever could have pretending like I had it all together.

Empathy has no script. There is no right way or wrong way to do it. It’s simply listening, holding space, withholding judgment, emotionally connecting, and communicating that incredibly healing message of ‘You’re not alone.’

Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror.

People with weird personalities make the best friends. Being able to be openly weird actually relieves stress and anxiety.

Spend time with people who are good for your mental health.

Understand that healing and growing can distance you from people who you once had a bond with, and it can also bring you closer to those who will heal and grow with you. The time in between can be difficult, but there is so much to learn in solitude.

We need more people who are willing to say, ‘I’ve been there, and I’m here. You can always talk to me without judgment.’

Tell your people you love them. Life is so fragile.

At the end of the day, I’d rather be excluded for who I include than included for who I exclude.

As you get older you really just want to be surrounded by good people. People who are good for you, good to you, and good for your soul.

If we grew apart as friends, there’s 100% chance I’m still cheering you on from afar and that I still love you.

You should always tell people how important they are to you. Always.

The introvert empath: Sometimes they want to be left alone. Sometimes they want to be included. But most of the time they want to be included with the option to be left alone.
