Friendship and community have taken up a lot of space in my mind in the last year and a half, and I’ve been in a space where I’m evaluating what friendship means to me, what it looks like, the type of friend and villager I am with my friends. And I’ve realized there’s beliefs and value systems I’m having to deconstruct in order to construct something that moves me closer to the deep and abiding friendships I need and want. Your article Shannon helps me on this continuum - giving me space to reflect and adjust and deepen. Love it and will likely reread to soak in this goodness.

Thank you for reading, Chanale! You’ve always been really good at friendship and community, and I’ve learned a lot from you 🫶🏽 I’m glad we’ve been able to stay in touch even though things look so different now.
