You know that best friend that you have? The two of you have been friends for years. You know what she likes and what she doesn’t like. How she takes her coffee and how she acts when she has had too much wine. She makes you laugh but sometimes she makes you so mad. You love all her good qualities but you think all her flaws are beautiful as well. You love that she’s an imperfect mess. She frustrates you to no end and sometimes you just want to smack her. Sometimes you just love her so much it hurts. But you always want to know her better, understand her, just be with her. But you never want to change who she is. You love who she is. The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. Those things all come together to equal perfect. We all have that friend. You know the one I am talking about . . . but . . .
What would it be like if we were this kind of best friend to ourselves?
