Healing Upward and Outward
Healing Upward and Outward Reconciliation is repairing the broken threads that connect us. These threads reach in two directions: up and out.

But now at 29, standing on the doorstep of being 30, I barely have any friends left, and for the first time ever, this is entirely by choice.
