Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

• There’s a particular person I love who’s heading into something I’ve already lived through, and I want to hand them what I actually learned
• There’s one person who changed the course of things for me and I never actually said it to their face
• I hint and soften and hope they pick up on what I mean, so the real message never quite lands
• Enough time has passed that I can almost look back on that whole painful chapter and ask honestly whether I’d walk it again knowing who it made me
• Someone I love opens up about something hard and I’m already three solutions deep before they finish
