Thank you all! I really appreciate all your advice, and I have reached out and we’ve been making light conversation, and it’s been lovely 🙂 I was reminded the other night of this quote from Brene Brown’s book “Daring Greatly” that I want to share with you all:

“I define vulnerability as uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. With that definition in mind, let’s think about love. Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability. Love is uncertain. It’s incredibly risky. And loving someone leaves us emotionally exposed. Yes, it’s scary and yes, we’re open to being hurt, but can you imagine your life without loving or being loved?”
