not gonna lie, i feel like everything that happened these last five months needed to happen. it allowed me to see that everybody is not for me. it taught me how to set boundaries, stop oversharing, and stop overplaying my part in people's lives. some lessons were hard, some were painful, but they opened my eyes. looking back, i can see that every disappointment, every setback, and every difficult moment had a purpose. they helped me grow, protect my peace, and become more careful about who i give my time, energy, and trust to.
