Conversations

Confident people aren’t fearless. They’ve just collected enough evidence that they can handle what happens next.

Guilt doesn’t always mean you did something wrong. Sometimes it means you did something new.

A boundary isn’t a wall you build to keep people out. It’s you telling the people you care about how to reach you.
