Add this to the friend thing...amazing blog "Real"...Miss you!!!

"Just start talking..."
No one can ever really love you for you, if all they know is all that they wanted to know. I am not a buffet. You can't pick and choose. It's all of me or nothing at all. But that is what I was afraid of. I was afraid he would choose nothing. And I wasn't ready for nothing. Fortunately, that fear is behind me now, out steps fear and in steps relief. And freedom. "When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares". This piece of wisdom is care of Lindsay's handmade advice jar. When I read this lastnight I thought it was charming yet irrelevant but I was far from right. But I also realised that this aphorism only holds true, when it is not that the person does not care to know, but rather, that they are patiently waiting until the tears stop, and the storm begins to clear. I am not my mistakes. But I am the sum of my past and the lessons I have learned from them. And for you to truly appreciate my spirit, you must also acknowledge where I have been, and what I have gone through. It's not easy to expose myself to someone, because in the past that has been the beginning of the end. Not this time. Now the beginning has just begun."
