Summary
I went through a phase in mid-2020 when I made the conscious decision to unfollow a slew of people on social media and “block” others from viewing my Instagram story. Recently, one of them reached out to me, and we had a reckoning of sorts. I noticed that since we reconnected, the person made a concerted effort to check in from time to time, more so than before. He often asks about my days, even the stuff I post about on via social media — like my morning run or how work’s going. In today's 5-MINUTE FRIDAY, I talk about forgiveness and the awesome lesson I learned by making a huge mistake.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, everyone, Emily Abadi here, bringing you another installment of five-minute Friday. |
| 0:24.2 | We made it to the weekend. |
| 0:26.2 | Oh, you know, I had a short week. |
| 0:28.3 | I took Monday off to go to a little getaway, actually physically called the getaway cabin in the eastern cat skills and it was so wonderful |
| 0:41.0 | so much fun if you've never heard of these cabins so to speak they're a little kind of |
| 0:48.2 | trailers almost i would call them i think there's wheels on one side of these so they can be moved |
| 0:52.9 | but basically it is a small cabin with a bed and a two-burner stove. |
| 1:00.3 | It has a fridge and running water and a bathroom and a shower and heat. |
| 1:06.3 | And that's really all you need. |
| 1:07.8 | It's also an area with minimal cell phone service. |
| 1:10.6 | So it was really |
| 1:11.0 | nice for me just to, as I said, get away and unplug and have some time off. But, alas, I'm excited. |

| 1:53.1 | a story from my week or of recent times to share with you. Then I give you a thought prompt to |
| 1:59.9 | take you into the weekend and share some |
| 2:02.7 | of my content picks, the things that I think are awesome from the past seven days or things that I |
| 2:09.0 | have found recently because sometimes I'm late to the party, stuff to do, all of that good stuff. |
| 2:15.1 | So this week, I'm thinking a lot about boundaries and social media. I know I |
| 2:22.4 | touched on this a few times, I think, over the last year or so, but in 2020, I got really |
