"She existed in her friends; there she was.
All the parts of herself she'd forgotten.
She knew herself best when she was with them."
Ann Brashares
We often isolate ourselves or confine interactions with a minimized audience. It is when we stray too far away from friends that we begin to forget parts of our selves. When we are with those who love us, they kindle our fire making us shine.
It is interesting how we may choose one friend for deep confidences, while selecting a different companion for crazy fun. It is the sister of the heart, however, one can be all parts in one. We are embraced and supported ... the whole package.
And is that not the goal of life ... to learn to be present with our true self, open just as we are whether approved or not? We need to have a willingness to change and a desire to learn, while remaining grounded in our truth and actions. Let it be good to be you!
