I have a shadow; I don't need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod.
Sometimes you have to get to know someone really well to realize that you're really strangers.
The doors we open and close each day decide the lives we live, and as always it's easier to surrender...to shut the door and walk away...but every once in awhile you'll feel that slight tug that says don't leave, don't give up, don't go home mad...and that can make all the difference.
I don't know what we talked about for the last 6 hours...I don't know how it started or really even how it ended but what I do know is that a good friend is a connection to life- a tie to the past, a road to the future and the key to sanity in a totally insane world. So as always, I'm leaving the Rose house not knowing what I believe or what I want exactly, not sure of what I just said or what I meant by it but what I know for certain is that, a true friend accepts us as we are yet helps us to be what we should. And I have that. How blessed am I...
"The comfort - the inexpressible comfort of feeling safe with a person - having neither to weigh thoughts nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together; certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them, keep what is worth keeping, and then with the breath of kindness blow the rest away." ~Dinah Craik, A Life for a Life, 1859
