Wow, the evolution of this piece is so amazing! My heart ached at the beginning, I have been there before to with friends and you're right, it's easy to try and sweep it under the rug. You're so right, it's funny how facing those feelings can actually help us make changes to make ourselves happier. I loved the ending, the learnings can spill over to helping us deepen all our relationships!

I loved this story from the beginning and even more so how it shaped up. It was special to see how at the end, this quest to explore the programmed emotional response evolved beyond the original wedding story. I imagine it will continue to do so. Thank you for sharing, excellent work!

Thanks, Haley!! So appreciate your feedback on my first draft and you taking the time to read this finished version. I couldn’t have created this, let alone persevered to continuously revise it, without your encouragement and support about this idea during our first conversation. 🙏🏻😊
