This is so beautiful, raw, and worthy of two reads. There are so may parts I can identify with and parts I watched as an observer. My sister once told me, "Some people collect stray animals. You collect stray people." Were all these people friends? No, but I called them that. I've use that word so loosely and there's nothing wrong with that as long as I know how all my F's show up and were they belong on the F-meter.
Love this one. Really resonates and a good reminder to not be so quick to get annoyed or frustrated with friends/loved one's actions that mean no harm but still might not be what you need or are looking for. xo

Exactly!!! That “stray people” line got me. Totally agree — it’s all about knowing how they show up and where they belong.

Yes, and that’s such a good reminder! It’s wild how often good intentions and unmet needs get tangled. Thank you for reading and sharing that! 🤍
