#SwellSessionsLA | Lesson Learned

article image placeholderUploaded by @jnperl
That was painful, too. This is a story about learning to let go and learning to trust yourself again. Two weeks after the breakup, I left our shared home and moved to LA. I was lucky I had a job here already that I was working remotely previously. And I had friends here from living here 16 years ago. But I needed to make new friends. New single friends. So what did I do? I went on the dating apps

Hey, Jennifer, really easy to look at someone else's life and say, of course, that was a great lesson you learned. But turning towards ourselves, I wonder if a lot of us could have the grace to reflect the way you just did, because there's so much unknown in your story and you just jumped in and have embraced people and you let them embrace you and, yeah, it's just beautiful. Kind of a mic drop. Right?

You are so brave and courageous, not only for doing that, but also for sharing this. Thank you. This made my morning. I needed to hear this. As a Capricorn, you're so strong and I look up to you. JP, thanks for your friendship and I look forward to hanging more

Hi, Jennifer. Happy belated moving to LA. I love this story. I am still trying to let go of a certain ex, even though I know, yeah, certain things just aren't meant to be. And we, you know, sometimes two people aren't right for each other, even though they're wonderful people. They're both wonderful people. And I'm so glad that you found that meetup group. I wish everyone would go on Meetup
