Or are you trying to create a new narrative of who you are, and how you fit into the world around you?
Had a work party last night, for someone who was my boss for many years was leaving. There was lots of really expensive wine and food and a few people (other managers) were giving stories. I hadnt planned on saying anything, but i decided to stand up and tell a personal story to 60-70 people. About the guy leaving the company, and how he changed my life for the better. I cant really remember doing this kind of thing before, and im only writing this because im trying to keep being more socially courageous in publc, and see it as a good thing, not just something *i dont do*. Which is the narrative i always tell myself. Also. I didnt drink anything and that was really hard.
Photo just of a nice sunrise recently because its pretty 🌅

I bet the guy leaving appreciated hearing you speak up. We tend to leave lasting impressions on the people we meet, even when we don’t realize we’re doing so.
I’ve decided for the first time in my life that it’s ok for me to be unattached. It’s a bit scary and completely new to me, but I understand now that I have to learn to love myself before I can attempt to share my love with someone else again.
@BananaBrown its so easy for people to say this.. the love themselves more.. but its so hard to actually try to be better to ourselves. Im glad you are though! Its something im also trying to do. Really takes a lot of hard conversations and honesty within ourselves.
