I've been trying to cultivate my home as a place my friends feel comfortable showing up to. There's a bunch of people (too many) in my life who are going through tough stuff, and lately more and more they just show up for a chat, reading a book in peace and quiet, or sleep over and have a night away from home if they need it.

It's not so much them being welcome that feels like an accomplishment (because that's just a given), but rather that they seem to have internalized that it's OK to ask for help/support and feel comfortable enough with me/us to come here.

As I'm typing this out I'm not sure if this fits in the "betterment" category, but it's a positive change in my life I've noticed and worked on lately, so submitting it anyway. ๐Ÿ˜Š

As someone who has needed a friend's couch to crash on during periods of instability, just in order to keep other portions of life from falling apart too, I think what you're doing fits well.
