welcome to my unofficial advice session, aka free therapy but with worse credentials. today we’re talking about everything from starting over after a long term relationship to knowing when to cut off friends who suddenly feel like strangers, setting boundaries without feeling like the villain, and trying not to spiral when everyone else seems “ahead.” grab a snack, get comfy, and let’s pretend i know what I’m talking about :)
