i stole this from Beth, cuz i really liked it!
what an inadequate shell our bodies are. we never say or show what we really mean. so how can we really "know" one another? i dont think we can unless you really get inside a person's head...and they tell you eveything (which nobody really does). that takes so much time and attention and effort...but ive decided that that is what makes true friendship. knowing someone not by what they say or the actions they go through...its not being able to predict what they will do in a certain situation or knowing their favorite ice cream flavor. its knowing why they hurt, what they are thinking/feeling inside when they smile and say they are fine. its being able to truely empathize and know just what they need to make their world a little brighter (whether you can give that to them or not). thats real friendship. thats love.
