I'm insanely lucky to have a friend who spent literal years supporting me through processing everything. Oftentimes I came to her for help far more often than I probably should have (especially after getting a therapist who gets paid for all that work) but she was always there for me. Also I'm pretty sure she's the only person to hear me legit bawl in the decade I've been an adult lol. She's an incredible human being and amazing friend who persistently supported me in a way that I feel would be wrong to ever ask of anyone. Like, I'm kinda happy it took until now to really get into relationships due to the insane amount of baggage and emotional dependency I would've been bringing before, but my friend helped my carry all of it.
