This beautiful illustration from helped me to reflect on that unsettling feeling of disconnection - we are all so busy caught up in our own day to day world that genuine connection feels hard to find.
But here's a little reminder - don't wait for others to reach out, find, create and cherish your own tribe.
It might not be family who are there when you need them most, and that's ok. Sometimes, the most supportive safe space comes from friends who truly show up - the ones who listen, uplift and stand by you through it all.
So if you're feeling lost or lonely, remember: you have the power to create your own community. seek out those who make you feel seen and valued. Because connection isn't about the amount of people - it's the quality of those who genuinely support you.
Here's to creating your safe space - your family by choice ❤️
