“When we first met, I had trouble crying. Now I cry at everything all the time. I believe that this is an improvement.”

Definitely is!! I love a good cry — such a good acknowledgement and release of emotions. It’s so much better than bottling things in. I also had trouble crying when I was younger (but would then emotionally explode at random times) and I definitely *let* myself cry now, with no shame. And it’s a great emotional regulator.

Also love what you’re saying about closure with friendship breakups. I think what brought me peace was accepting that sometimes you don’t get that closure that you want. In that sense, I was able to get closure with myself.
