Some friendships become memories. Some leave you with a thousand what-ifs. ❤️

If I could go back, I’d want to handle this one differently.

Not because I know things would have worked out, but because I wish I’d known then what I understand now.

Funny how growing up sometimes means looking back at your younger self with a little more understanding.

Is there a friendship you sometimes wish you could go back and handle differently?

Multiple takes. Multiple edits. A million second thoughts. And yes, 2 AM edits. 🥲

This 21-day storytelling challenge is teaching me that putting yourself out there isn’t always as easy as it looks.

Sometimes, I struggle to find the right words. Sometimes, I record the same thing over and over again.

But when I finally manage to say something that feels like me, it makes all the effort worth it.

I’m not just learning to create content. I’m learning to tell my stories, one reel at a time. ❤️

Thank you so much @visha.khandelwal and @storyfirst.academy for giving a clear map of this journey and standing there along ♥️

I’m learning to stop putting my wishes on hold while I wait for someone else to fulfil them. ❤️

I still love having people by my side, but I’m learning to show up for myself, too.

Maybe this is what finding myself again at 38 looks like. 🌻

Sometimes, looking back is the best way to realise just how much you’ve grown. 🤍

I’m the kind of person who remembers the little things about people. ❤️

The things they like, the things they casually mention, the things that make them happy. And I love finding little ways to surprise them.

Maybe that’s why I value friendships where I feel seen and remembered, too.

Not about keeping score or expecting the same gestures in return. Just about having people who make you feel loved, understood and accepted for who you are.

Tell me, are you the friend who remembers the little things, too? 🌻 taken in Mumbai, Maharashtra by @urjashah5

Growing up, we thought we’d always have time for our people. ❤️

But somewhere along the way, spontaneous plans became group chats, and meeting after ages became a task we keep postponing.

Maybe nobody is wrong. Maybe life just gets busy in ways we don’t always see.

I’m learning that friendships need effort, a little patience, and sometimes, the grace to understand what someone else might be going through.

And maybe we can miss how things used to be without blaming anyone for how they are today.

Tell me, have you felt this shift in your friendships, too?

I think I’m finally okay enough to talk about this. 😅
Lost 5 out of 6 reels because of a technical glitch.
And yes, I cried.

Dear younger me, you didn't have to say yes to be liked or accepted...
Now at 38, I'm learning to say a NO...
