Quotes: 

• “But you did! You made space. You took it seriously. You know there’s not a script for this, right?” I nod. She pauses. “You know. If you ever had something you wanted to tell me, I could make space for that, too.”

• Maybe shared experiences shouldn’t be the foundation at all. Maybe it should be a promise to hold space for variation.
