And as a special treat, we'll also hear a couple of the questions his readers have sent and give them some advice.

Hey, John Paul.

It is so great to have you here today.

I'm so happy you're here.

All right.

You're a very funny person.

It shows up in your story, but something else that I really love about your story is its vulnerability and its tenderness.

So how do you find yourself striking that balance when you give advice to your readers?

But then.

John-Paul, you have very kindly brought in a couple of questions that have been sent to you.

I will read the first one.

Hola, Papi.

My friend and I have known each other for over 15 years, and I've always considered her one of my best friends, as well as one of my few friendships that's endured several moves, schools, and countries.

My perception of our friendship was shaken last fall.

She had gotten married in a small pandemic wedding and had always said she'd put on a bigger wedding to invite all her friends once it was feasible.

I heard from a mutual friend that the wedding was officially being planned but no date had been set yet.

I didn't think anything of it until a couple months later when her sister messaged me and asked whether I was coming to the wedding.

It was then I learned that not only had a date already been set but it was hardly a month away.

The day of the wedding passed and she posted all over social media about it.

I liked the post hoping she'd see the notification and reach out with an explanation.
