As I aged I had no clue how to perform friendship, and learned—from books and magazines and far too many mistakes—how to be and how not to be a friend.
Well put! We shut ourselves out from so much love and the ability to simply love ourselves and others whoever we are. Glad to be learning now how to be a safe, “good” human being.
I'm so glad you stopped by, John, and agree. I'm glad to be learning these things. And glad to realize learning is a process, that it happens over time, that I'll stumble, and that I'll progress. Thank you for taking the time to comment, and all my best.
Heartfelt and powerful, Kristen. After I left the 2x2's (as a 43 year old adult) and explained about it to a friend who I thought I had shared a lot with, she said: Oh, that explains a lot. I always felt there was a wall up between us.
