Chapters on Self-Friendship 

You are invited to meet yourself here among these words and stay awhile

It begins in the moments when you notice where you have left yourself behind. Where you learned to disappear, endure, or become who the world needed you to be.

These chapters are a place to return.

To listen inward. To understand yourself with tenderness. To loosen what no longer belongs to you. And, little by little, to become someone you no longer have to leave in order to be loved.
