Not Your Yes Friend

I’m 30 and have isolated myself enough to know real friends who tell the truth are rare. I value my energy, my small circle, and nothing feels better than brunch alone. If I care about you, I’ll be there—but I won’t cosign your bad decisions. I’ll tell you the truth, even when it stings. I’m funny, but I’m honest. I don’t trust easily, and I don’t play nice to be liked. Validation doesn’t matter to me—peace does. If you want a friend who always says “yes,” look elsewhere.
