The friends in our lives are so invaluable. Given the right environment, the right moments, you can feel such love, such support. The right friends have empathy. The right friends will support you know matter what decision you make, even if it isn’t the right decision.
AND then, there are times where your nearest and dearest hold your hand and then kick you hard in the a$. They do this because they love you. They take the time to explain with tough love. They listen patiently to your words and your feelings. Then they kick you in the a$ again. They continue to listen and support you and your feelings….but they push. Gently. Then they push a little harder. And then the light begins to shine in the darkness. The white love of a friend’s love.
A reminder that “We have no control over how people will react to our assertion of boundaries.” But that it’s incredibly important to set the boundaries.
Today I had my two dearest friends shared their perspective on what’s been going on in my life as of late. Bottom line, it was an intervention of sorts. It’s a veil being lifted. Moments of love….moments of support. Moments of understanding. Moments where you realize just how lucky you are to have such beautiful people in your life.
