Transcription
Left page: decisions and responsibilities.

So how do I rise from my state of pain + fatigue and be a grateful, fun friend when I'd much rather be ... what?

Alone + reading a book.

Guidance?

You don't have to be the life of the party. Express genuine gratitude.

Right page: for friendship, for laughter.

Excuse yourself for time out frequently. Don't worry about that.
