But, I also wonder what secrets they weren't telling me and how I would have been there for them NO MATTER WHAT.

When we're starting out we do look for someone who can serve solely as a confidant, but I think as go about life we definitely need someone who can call us out on our shit. Maybe we don't look for it like we looked for someone to trade secrets with, but we definitely need it. <br /><br />We see ourselves through the eyes of others, and if a friend is keeping his or her eye's shut during the ugly moments, we'll never get the whole picture of who we're becoming.Lukehttp://lukusnotlucas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1921887380505669715.post-25626025492415519912010-07-15T15:45:02.915-07:002010-07-15T15:45:02.915-07:00Beautiful, brave, and moving.
