Long lasting friendship isn’t conflict-free. It’s “repair-rich”. The strongest friendships aren’t built by avoiding hard moments—they’re built by choosing each other through them and we’ve found that making that choice communicates just how much we care. In this day and age of fleeting relationships and easily revoking access to each other, choosing to sit in moments of discomfort or conflict to reach a better understanding can be so rewarding and refreshing. We encourage you to try these gentle non-violent openings centering your own emotions to carefully explore tough situations with the people you love. 🌈🥹🩷 #conflictresolution #nonviolentcommunication #emotionalregulation #blackmentalhealthmatters #freetobecollective #makingnewfriends #thingstodoinatlanta #healingquotes
