Step one: sit in a sort of stunned disbelief in a car park, hand shaking, as you send a simple three-word text to your best friends.

It’s paramount - no, urgent - we recognise the love we deserve

‘Because I wasn’t really sure I could say no. Wasn’t really sure how.’

What we don’t hear matters too.

When things feel unsettled, always look within.

How to give and receive love is not always the same thing.

Putting in effort all the time is exhausting, writes Erin Deborah.
