I watched this on your you tube channel today and instantly felt a sense of warmth and genuine kindness from this man. Human kindness is the best isn't it!?
I needed to hear this. I’m still delving into my past experiences, going over every time I felt othered, and I think it’s affecting my ability to connect well in the present. I am lucky to have family and a church community that cares about me, and I need to remember that more often. Also, what a nice man and I’m SO glad you got Alfie back!!! Our indoor kitty got out a few weeks ago and we didn’t find her for a week. 😭 I still can’t help saying how glad I am that she’s home again!!
I feel this to my core Kayla! You're not alone ❤️ I think building up new experiences with people who are safe is hopefully going to help, but it's so hard when each time we connect it has the opportunity to remind us of past bad experiences etc. ❤️ I'm so happy you got your kitty back, a week is a long time!!
“each time we connect it has the opportunity to remind us of past bad experiences” -couldn’t have said it better. That, and the fact that so many of my friends have moved over the years and I struggle so much to *want* to connect again after experiencing someone leaving... And maintaining friendships is so taxing mentally and emotionally... I don’t want to isolate myself. I want to love and help and connect to those around me, but it’s so much emotionally... It’s so much easier to just stay away.
I’m working on a blog post about my experience with friendship- I think I need to add these thoughts...

Oh I'm so happy you felt it too 🥰 It truly is, especially when the person being so kind seems completely oblivious of how wonderful they are.
It really is 💕
