Who do you dare to be outside of people needing you?
Dani has finally accomplished the impossible: making friends who donโt need saving. It should feel like winning. But after one ordinary dance class, she experiences uncomfortable feelings as a regular member sheโs 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 youโre 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 Projectโs letters series, inspired by real conversations. This is our Summer Edition.
