i lost a friend unexpectedly to unknown medical issues right before the holidays - reading this was reassuring and validating of my experience the past month 💝

Sometimes I feel... A little different. Maybe because friends I've lost haven't been dramatic, life changing or painful at the time, or because I have a ridiculous off switch and once it's done it's done. The painful odd one was usually me being hurt by them, having a bad night then moving on. I've casually wondered if something was off with me but discovered I'm actually quite ok with it. I appreciate what you've written here and how you've grown with every loss. You're inspiring.

Gorgeous words. I am not sure it helped me be okay with losing friends, but it’s a good reminder of how important and special close friends are. I actually often worry about losing friends as I find it hard to grow this level of connection with people I haven’t grown up with.
