I wanted to reboot Lil Squad on a positive note, so here's one of my journal entries that inspired me:
Notice: Not only do your friends actually like you, they secretly like you twice as much as they let on.
An experience that made me feel much more assured in my friendships was at church, a friend and myself were talking about a third friend of ours and how cool and knowledgeable and smart she is and how we feel like we could never be that cool. The next day I was writing some stuff down when I was informed that these two aforementioned friends were having the same conversation about me. And it turns out we spent a lot of time thinking about our friends who aren't currently in the room and gushing over how cool and smart and talented they are without being able to say it to their face.
Your friends secretly love you a lot more than they already express, just like you love them so intensely that saying it all to their faces would sound clumsy to your own ears. Believe it.
