Hey Y’all🧵
Happy Friday.
Short weeks sure can be exhausting.
An update from last week's note- I finished my first Colleen Hoover book, “It Ends With Us” and I am starting the next one in the series this weekend. I was not sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised and I enjoyed it.
Last week I asked y’all to join me in the chat section here on Substack…
Well, now we can add to our “group chat”. If you are on threads come find me on there. So many group chats to keep us connected.
So far I think I am going to like threads as long as it doesn’t become too spammy.
How are you feeling about threads?
This month I am sharing some things I am observing/learning and on the agenda this week is quality over quantity.
I have realized that over the last few years, I have really done a good job of trying to make sure quality outweighs quantity in my friendships. Some folks reach out only when they have a fire to put out or need something and for too long I was the available friend.
Being able to have quality connections has been so good for my overall mental health. I do not turn my back on folks but I am intentional about what deserves my time.
Also, adult friendships can be tough. We are all busy. Today I got a text from a friend that said “Hey I am off next Friday. Will you have time to catch up on the phone?” I was like yep we can do that. To me, that is a quality we have not talked about in a while but her making me a priority on her day off when I am sure she has tons of things to do means a lot to me.
And maybe one of us or both of us may have to change the plan because a week from today in adult time is a lot.
Do not feel bad about prioritizing quality over quantity. Just do it, you will be glad you did.
I love that you appreciate your friend making you a priority. Also side note, why am I obsessed lately about cheese??? That’s not helping my diet plan!!!
