will be writing this, by hand, in my personal journal. with a nice pen. as an assignment. to remember it. as a person who struggles A LOT with making/having friends and making connections in general, this was gentle yet affirming.

What a intentional, nourishing act! Would love to see the journal pages filled with beautiful ink, if that's ever something you're open to sharing 🫶

I've come back to this a few times now and there are so many reminders that I needed to read. Number 48 made me smile - People are gonna people! How freeing to say this! One my clients years back used to always say both in moments she was agitated or delighted by someone, or anything in between: People are so funny. She always said it quietly, with levity and openness to meeting the moment. This reminded me of that, thank you.

Thank you for returning to this piece with such a beautiful addition! "People are so funny" — I adore how that can both soften and deepen various interactions. Lovely 🫶

Thanks for this wonderful article, so much wisdom here. I'm going to try and implement No. 45. :Sometimes the easiest thing to do is to just say what you want — simply and directly"
