An Open Letter

I asked A for advice, and she was happy to give it to me, and I got to know her more yesterday. She is very similar to me in a lot of ways that I value a lot, since it’s kinda rare. She again talked with me today which I’m super grateful for, since I know that it can NOT be fun to have to tell someone that they’re being a dumbass in a nice way continuously. But I think we have become closer as a result of that; she reached out and asked me if I had played Marvel Rivals. I feel like a lot of my closest relationships have come from times of struggling where I’ve reached out to them, and as a result, I've broken past a lot of those barriers of intimacy with friends. This reminded me of the Nova effect, where so many times, bad things lead to good things. And good things lead to bad things. I think it’s important to really appreciate the good parts when they happen, and be conscious of the decisions that led there. Even the bad things that led there.
