## Resource

Host Corey Proffitt-Boyd remembers the awkward, unexpected visits of small-town life — the sudden knock, the pressure to be hospitable, and how privacy once signaled rudeness. He explores how those habits shaped emotional boundaries and the mixed feelings they left behind. Then he contrasts that world with modern adulthood, where unexpected calls feel intrusive and loneliness is quieter, arguing for a balance between connection and personal boundaries, while showing love.
