Summary
This week we’re chatting about relationships between girls and boys — the sometimes awkward, messy, confusing kind. From school friends to heartbreaks, what does it really mean when someone rejects you? You don’t have to be besties with everyone, and just because someone doesn’t want to date you doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with you. Rejection is not failure — it’s redirection. Let’s normalize what real connection looks like — not just romantic, but supportive, solid friendships too.
