Today I finally resolved something that’s been a thorn in my side for 2 years. It took me a year and a half to even tell my best friend about it and she couldn’t believe it. I’m so blessed to have a best friend that really listens and truly doesn’t judge. Along the way she’s been a godsend simply by always having encouraging words for me as I went through the dreaded process and as much as I want to say that I should’ve taken care of it sooner, I say that God’s timing is perfect and it couldn’t have gone any other way or any better than how it did. I’m really grateful to have it behind me because it opens up space for other important things I can take care of. Mostly fun shit if I’m being honest. I’m ready
Anywhoo, as a proclaimed introvert and recluse who has removed my social media presence I was thinking about how none of that stops my friends from showing up for me. I’m extremely guarded with everything in my life, I don’t share openly things that are going on because I like to figure things out on my own without burdening others and by the time I want to talk about it, I’ve already solved the problem.
But as I’ve been navigating this chapter of my life I’m poignantly aware of how my friends have showed up for me and I’m so grateful for their presence and it has done more than confirm for me that as much as I aim to be out of sight, I’m never out of mind for my friends and at this stage of my life. I need that. I am beyond grateful for the temperature checks they do when it goes too long without hearing from or seeing me. It’s confirming that I am in fact, never alone no matter how much I intentionally isolate myself to sort my shit.
I’m so grateful for them
