Our LET’S MEET forums are tailored towards bridging the gap on tackling social isolation, mental health and loneliness by offering a platform for people to engage in dialogues, meet new friends and facilitate collaboration across various sectors... If you missed our first edition, why not make a date with us in March for the next edition, and do tell a friend to tell a friend. 🤝🤝 We are pleased to be partnering with @rainbowharlow on this initiative. #communityengagement #letsmeet #openforums #tacklingsocialisolation #breakingbarriers #dialogues #communitycohesion #diversityinitiative (at Harlow, Essex) https://www.instagram.com/p/B5q1iZPJjzs/?igshid=o2jk5ng56qym

Open forums are not just about "I really don't like how you talk" or "You seem to not notice me anymore because you have a new group of friends" or "You're the bossiest in the class". I'm trying hard to remember if I said anything, perhaps a compliment rather than a negative remark. I'm still hoping that even just for one person, I had said something like, "You radiate sunshine and I like to always be near you" or "I'm not missing you because you're always there for me" or "Thank you for sticking up with me until 4am". But then maybe, it's not yet too late to say something like that. And maybe it doesn't only apply to open forums :)
