**You know what I love about my best friend? **She knows the exact moment I need to be pulled out of my own head 💙 Last week I was spiraling about literally nothing 😅 And she just showed up at my door with two coffees ☕ and one of those ridiculous metal puzzles you have to solve 🧩

We spent 3 hours on that thing. 3 hours 😂 It probably should have taken twenty minutes. But somewhere in between arguing about strategy and her threatening to throw it out the window 🪟 I realized I hadn't thought about any of my actual problems once 😌 We just existed. Laughed. Called each other idiots 😂 She left, and the puzzle was still unsolved on my table, and somehow I felt okay again ✨

Not everything needs to be fixed. Sometimes you just need someone to show up with coffee and a stupid puzzle and remind you that life is still pretty good 💙 I think that's why I have a hard time letting people in — because I know what real connection feels like.** And I don't want to fake it 🙅‍♀️**
