The truth of the matter is we need help and we need support, which is why it’s imperative to have a strong circle. You’ll have hard days and you’ll need someone to talk to, someone to unload what you’re feeling. Pursue your grind and hustle, but don’t do it alone.
I think we also feel the pressure to be perfect. Then when we aren’t, we feel our worth diminish instead of remembering our humanity. We have to treat ourselves with better care. And we also have to make peace with our mistakes. Mistakes don’t make you dumb, they make you better. –Dr. Kristian Edwards,
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
Real Life of an MSW 
Great advice, really. I’ve not had a strong circle, or even a circle, in many years. Most of my wins and losses and hard times and struggles, I have had to face alone. It’s not a reality I would wish on anyone. Strangely, it’s harder to build friendships when you lack other friendships, especially in middle age.

I love that this post allowed you to self-reflect. While friendships in middle age can be challenging, they are certainly not impossible. My best unsolicited advice is to show up at events you enjoy or are interested in and strike up a conversation. It is also helpful to keep in mind that there are many levels of friendship, and they all take time to cultivate.❤ —Thanks for taking the time to read,and comment.
