Right, this is final part of the "friends and family giving me dating advice aka friends and family collectively telling me to just relax and breathe and have fun and enjoy the process and not waste time on losers and just be patient but also be specific and not take your eye off the ball and journal and go to the party coz Harry Goldenblatt will arrive at some point and... just have fun" episodes, hehe.
These episodes really reinforced the fact that I have very smart and insightful humans in my life that I hope we can all benefit from.
