These are all so good! They are all things that we know, singularly, but put all together like this it becomes so easy to see the cumulative impact of decisions. And it’s so easy to recognize avoidance strategies in here and be forced to acknowledge the damage they are doing. Thanks!
Love it — especially the bit on friendship being a set of intentional choices. Friendships don’t maintain themselves. You have to consistently show up.
The past five-plus years have been marked by struggles with #31, and #35 has been a GREAT counterpoint to it. Here to co-sign on cross-generational friendships, or at least cross-generational aquaintanceships that may or may not become full friendships but are still valuable in and of themselves :)

A treasure, of course!
