Über diesen Titel

Recording this episode was really difficult because it’s more personal and sensitive than anything I’ve ever shared publicly. Deciding whether to post it was even harder. I know that by sharing it, I’m opening myself up to scrutiny, and I don’t want to be defined by this story, or for people to assume it explains or justifies who I am and how I show up on social media.

But I shared it anyway because I am not a single story. I am not the sum of my negative experiences. I exist despite them. Still, I can’t ignore the fact that the way my friends showed up for me, and quite literally saved me during that time, shaped how I show up in friendships now.

Somewhere along the way, I became a kind of saviour. And sometimes that role isn’t warranted but it's my own projection. So I’m choosing to step back and be more selfish. To trust that my friends are smart, decisive adults who can save themselves from potentially unpleasant situations. They don’t need me to project my past onto their lives, and they certainly don’t need me to save them.
