And that comes, of course, off the heels of my, these last two years have been about friendship for me.

So much hurt and everything, but the way that friends can save you.

And this book, what I wanted to explore was

Can one friend save you?

Is that enough?

And what if you don't have one friend?

What happens to you then?

Well, she's vulnerable.

Like even the people that want to keep the world at bay, they're probably the most vulnerable.

There's a reason that you do that.

As humans, we want to connect.

And, yeah, like there is a kind of hope, a layered story about that and all of that comes from my experience over the last couple of years and the importance that friendship has and it's dedicated to my best friend, Sash, who has just been diagnosed for the second time with triple negative breast cancer.

She's going through treatment at the moment.

Again...

You know, we, it's been so difficult but the thing, and she talks about it all the time, is I've got my girls, you know, and we just know what to do and we just rally and we support and we'll get her through it and there is the, it's so horrible and it's so difficult for her, you know, it's so difficult to watch her go through that but at the same time,

and this is what I felt about my divorce, there's this beautifulness of it, of the way that we just move around each other at these difficult times.

And that's the stuff that it just moves me in a way that I don't think any...

I don't know.

Like I don't know why that love doesn't have that same, I can't believe I'm crying.

No.
