Thank you for sharing your stories with us, Hillarie. One of my biggest challenges in making friends as an adult is my fear that I won't be enough. I fear I'll let folks down or won't reach out enough...it sounds a bit silly as I'm writing about it now. But its like I feel all of this pressure to not only make friends but to be a really good one. I appreciate this space to think about this more deeply.
Glad you said this because I absolutely feel this everyday. It's hard to feel like we are doing enough to nurture a friendship when life continues to pull us in so many directions. Thanks so much for sharing and you are enough 💚
Hi Hillarie, apologies in advance for messaging you in a comment, but I wanted to make sure I could reach you. I enjoy your newsletter. Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm writing an article for a national publication about getting rid of lawns, and I need a couple of people who have rewilded their yards at least in part to profile for it. I'm wondering if you'd be willing to be one of those, or if you know some people who would be good for it. All that's required is a quick 15-minute zoom, or we could even do it by email. Many thanks and keep up the good! (I also write the Nature Rising substack).
Thank you for sharing. I feel it was very informative. I never really had a problem making friends, but you can always pick up words of wisdom from others.
