I havent read the book in a decade, but it was very moving at the time. I realized that I hadnt been prioritizing that kind of good feeling. I recommend this podcast to literally anyone who will listen and it has helped me develop a more healthy outlook on relationships and moving on from them.
Sam & Sierra are like the two friends I never knew I needed, and while Ive yet to write in my own letter, the advice they give is so transferrable! Saved me thousands in therapy.

I was in all of the high school plays, I also was in lots of different clubs; definitely an overachiever.
