Wow, what a thoughtful and honest take on personal growth and friendship. I love how Heather Havrilesky talks about the shift from blaming others to understanding her own role in her happiness. It's so relatable when she mentions how emotional engagement can be messy but ultimately rewarding. This interview definitely gives you a lot to reflect on in terms of how we approach our own lives and friendships. Thank you for sharing it with us, Ava!

Hi Ava! Thank you for having your finger on the pulse of things and starting this friendship series. So much of what Heather is expressing sailed right in for me; this topic weighs on our minds yet sometimes feels hard to raise with our actual friends, sometimes.

P.S. Read this yesterday, which I loved, and then seeing your piece feels so serendipitous 🪄: https://rojospinks.substack.com/p/the-friendship-problem

A certain few columns from Heather's collection have gotten me through some difficult nights; when I was going down spirals of relentless self-questioning - honestly both your and Heather's writing have made me feel more understood and seen on many occasions - thank you both and for the cool collab too!
