Reconnected with my oldest sister today in a 4+ hour phone call. Was so good to talk to her! Feeling very happy and sort of grounded right now.
Edit: we haven't spoken for about 25 years after I "went dark" due to mental health issues and personal problems.
That is amazing!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
That's huge! Wow, well done to you (both?) for being able to have that conversation. I feel you on having dropped out with some people during dark times and it takes so much bravery and vulnerability to reconnect.
Sometimes we really underestimate the grounding power of just free wheeling conversation... I felt the same way after catching up with my friend today. I'm really glad you filled your cup
That's so wonderful. 🥲
That so nice to hear that you were able to reconnect with her after so much time.
