"Ask a friend for love.
Ask him again."
Hafiz
As we mindfully design our lives for privacy, we often send out the silent message that we do not need our friends. No matter how much we choose to isolate our lovely selves, we will continue to have the need for connection.
Where did the false concept of emotional need being a weakness originate? Not to be unkind, but what male patriarch declared this to be true? Connection is pivotal in healthy growth and development.
In early adulthood, I embraced the idea of being an extroverted/hermit, only to reverse it in later years to being a hermit/extroverted. Either way, friendship has been key in my ability to move forward and emotionally prosper. No longer am I shy in requesting love.
