This struck a chord. A few years ago I lost a friend too, and the hurt of realising they weren’t who I thought they were still bothers me. We don’t speak now. Your words captured the ache and confusion of that kind of loss — and also a shift that can come after, when you start to see things more clearly <3.
I love this, Jesse. Let's seek the truth, be seen for who we truly are and be loved for it, rather than for what we can offer.
Absolutely Diana, let's seek the truth. Thank you for sharing my essay. 🤗

Sorry to her that May. I have come to realise that while the loss hurts, having the clarity is preferred.

Some people do not want to see and accept, but criticize and try to change us.
I'd rather be alone with myself than have such "friends" in my life.
I hear you, Dianne. In my book, criticising and trying to change someone is more a sign of control than love and acceptance.
Absolutely!
