What progress, you ask, have I made? I have begun to be a friend to myself.

A reminder that you are, invariably, your own worst enemy and your own worst critic. If there’s one person who will be on your side no matter what, it’s you. No matter what happens, be a good friend to yourself. That doesn’t mean just being “good” to yourself. Friends can be harsh and tell you things you don’t want to hear. You need to be able to do that to yourself when it’s needed. Treat yourself as a genuine friend.
