Thank you my friend. I’d had an epiphany right before reading your essay. You confirmed what I began to suspect about the unevenness in so many of my relationships. The person needed in my life the most right now is me. I can’t afford any subscriptions right now. What is a writer without paper and pencils⁉️ A wanderer, a nomad, a pot without a lid, a room without a roof. Maybe when my fortunes improve I can do more in this thoughtful community … Grace and plenty on your head in 2025.

Thank you very much for reading this. And yes, it’s better you have no friends than being in a friendship that is toxic and will constantly bring you down.

If it’s not worth it, it’s okay to walk out

This is packed with lessons: we are sometimes the bad friends and sometimes the friend that can’t let the bad friend go.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts in the most beautiful way.
