Congratulations on 14 years of marriage! ❤️My husband and I met, too, through work overseas. Friendships can be tricker, though, and they seem to be a hot topic these days, probably because of social media, etc, has made it a bit more complicated than in the past. Friendships come and go, I've learned, but some hang around a little longer, xo
aww this essay made me smile! :) I guess over time, we gain the intuition when to open our hearts up to which people and how much, which can only be learned by experience.
Glad you liked it! I do think we never stop learning how much to open our hearts, though I like to think, like you said, we gain the intuition over time.
Omg I love a meet cute!! I used to not give my number out and my circle was really closed but I think being overseas forces you to meet new people and challenge social anxiety. The thing about expats I notice is they never stay at one place! So your constantly having to meet new people and make new friends haha
I love the happy love story :) it does take an open heart and mind to meet our soulmate or make new lifelong friends. Indeed it is very hard to have the heart open every time, that is why I treasure those precious few that have made it inside and I make sure they stay in there happily.
I was never good in any work related networking, so I understand how tough it must be that you put yourself out there for your freelance work. I take my hat off for you. :)

Yes, I know I’ve had beliefs in my head that friendships last forever and they’re “easy” when in fact, it’s not the case at all.

Wow what a beautiful story and a great gentle reminder to guard your heart but be open to wonderful possibilities. Thanks for sharing!
For sure, it's definitely a balance being open and guarded at the same time.
