197: I Can Be Liked Without Being Needed โ€” By Dani

Who do you dare to be outside of people needing you?

Dani has finally accomplished the impossible: making friends who donโ€™t need saving. It should feel like winning. But after one ordinary dance class, she experiences uncomfortable feelings as a regular member sheโ€™s grown to like starts hanging out with the new girl. She navigates her feelings as she searches for new leggings on the clearance rack.

If youโ€™re no longer saving your friends and you feel weird about it, this letter is for you.


Letter 197 is part of The Filipino American Woman Projectโ€™s letters series, inspired by real conversations. This is our Summer Edition.
