Be the Kind of Friend You Need on Your Worst Days
Have you ever finished a conversation with a good friend and felt like you just left the therapist office? They listen to you without judgment and offer some thoughts, a little advice and ask the tough questions. The type of questions that you might tell someone else to “F” off. They make you think for yourself while letting you know that you are not alone.
You find yourself telling them things that you don’t tell others. If you are good enough friends, you let them peek through the cracks and dark places that come from being broken. They know to say just enough and know when to back off. They will tell you that you are full of shit if you are, but they will listen anyway.
You may not even get to see them often or there might be gaps of time you are apart, but when you see each other it feels like no time has passed. These are the people that you have well-matched energy with. Hang onto them! It is grueling to deal with someone that is an energy vacuum, especially when you are already drained.
I am lucky to have a few people who fall into the category I have been describing. To those people, I say thank you and I love you. You need to find these people and keep them close and every one of us needs to be this person for someone else.
Thank you for reading my blog and allowing me to share my thoughts with you. I wish you peace and safety during your ongoing personal journies.
