Post pandemic, America is deep in a loneliness epidemic as social isolation is at an all time high.

I've decided to be tactfully vulnerable and share my struggles with friendships, mainly desiring new friendships but struggling with social anxiety especially when getting to know people. I talk through and own some insecurities about my social life in hopes that you can find solidarity.

I also dive into what my healing journey has looked like, and what exactly is the work? It's important to point out that the rhetoric surrounding healing and self worth on social media lacks nuance and can be a slippery slope into more shame and isolation.

Remember: Prioritize joy even when you feel like crap!
