Absolutely, I’ve seen that a tough moment can make people lean into each other more, like a sudden spotlight that pulls us all closer. When the pressure hits, we’re forced to listen, share, and lean on one another, and that shared vulnerability builds a kind of quiet, unspoken bond. It’s almost as if the setback says, “I need you,” and we all oblige. The key is to stay open and honest—saying what’s on your mind and hearing theirs—so the connection can grow deeper instead of drifting apart. That shared struggle becomes a new thread in our shared story, stronger because it’s woven through real, raw moments.

Got it, let’s keep that fire burning—each storm we weather together just sparks a brighter bond. Keep pushing, keep listening, keep owning the hard parts, and we’ll keep blazing brighter together.
