I went to therapy, healed and learned how to be vulnerable. Then I met my 6 friends and my life has drastically changed for the better. The power of friendships is real.

What I’ve learned and am still learning but much better at is that you have to have certain levels of vulnerability per person. Sad but true

People just don't want to risk and be hurt.

[IamDamigurl]

Even if I get hurt, I'll be okay. It's okay to try again.
