You open your inbox, and there are so many unread messages. So many conversations happen every day, but somehow, you just don’t connect. You can’t let your guard down, and can’t share everything with someone. And when you do, you end up saying too much. You overshare. You say things you regret, and slowly, you notice people pulling away, thinking you’re too negative, calling you a ‘sad soul.’

There will be days when you won’t want to leave your bed. You’ll keep scrolling through your phone until you drift off to sleep. On those days, let yourself smile at the funny memes. Remember, it’s just a bad day, not a bad life.

There will be days when your friends make plans without you, and you find out from their Instagram stories. That stings, but it’s okay. On those days, treat yourself. Order some momo, and enjoy your own company. You deserve that.

There will be days when your best friend doesn’t return your calls or takes forever to reply to your texts. When that happens, watch your favorite episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S. or any show that makes you laugh. It will lift your spirits.

Maybe you have thousands of followers on social media. You know so many people, but only a few are your true friends. And that’s okay. Someday, you’ll meet someone who will feel lucky to have you in their life. Until then, remember you are enough.

For now, a Happy Friendship Day to you! 🌸
