Friends.....

I've had a lot of issues with girls in my life, like many women. Just comes with the insecurities that flooded my mind when I was a kid. I'm not too sensitive so I'm able to just let some of these things rumble around in my mind quite often without anyone knowing (not saying this a good thing by any means). However one that has been a constant sting for a long time was never feeling like I had a true friend that got me. I've always had girl relationships where I needed them or they needed me and these relationships would only last for seasons. Never had I been involved in a friend relationship with another female where it was equal give and take. That is, until recently. How beautiful it is that God has finally blessed me with another joyous gift to fill the longing of my heart. It's weird but wonderful to finally be able to say my best friend and know it's true and that they feel the same way.

I read a quote today that got me processing this a little more. I found myself thanking God for her today and I wanted to share this quote with you as well. I finally let my wall down, and although it's hard work at times and it seems easier to walk away, we keep pushing through and I'm so thankful for that!

"When you don't feel that you have to be perfect to be accepted, when you are given the freedom to be yourself in any situation, when you can shake your heart without the risk of betrayal, when being together is more important than what you do.....that is when you're in the presence of a true friend"
