You're gambling when you decide to walk the pier of trust because if you come to a hole you're going to fall right through. Sometimes it isn't even a hole you can see - it's a patch of weakened walkway that looked safe until it gave away under your feet.
That's the price you pay; the risk you run.
Some lessons are not learned the easy way; growing can be associated with pain. You have to decide that it's worth it - to be vulnerable means you're taking a chance, and sometimes that means taking a fall.
Lesson learned.
Again.

A kick in the pants
My best friend is electric. Truly.
We were talking today and I, as per usual, was being crazy and neurotic and she, as per usual, was reading between the lines [she lives far away so many of our conversations are via text messaging]. It is incredible to me that I can say one thing (while meaning something completely different than the actual words I use) and she hears my meaning; she hears what I'm not saying louder than what I do.
She pulled out her usual magic and hit me right between the eyes with some brutal truths that I needed to hear, talked me down, and balanced providing an empathetic and understanding ear with a firm expectation that I will do the right thing. She's almost too good to be true ... basically she's a unicorn.
There are so many things that make her the sensational woman I love so much, but today this is the one I am extra grateful for. I am thankful for a woman who knows me so well, reads me like a large-print book, and tells me the honest truth, even when it's not what I want to hear. I am so blessed to have her in my life.
I love you.
