Having some informations that you may not suppose to know or that you’ve gotten by not the person herself, does it give you the right to say something about it ?
I’ll explain.
Funny enough, I have met my friend Grace not that long ago through long lasting relatives. And yet, she takes a big place in my heart.
I believe that people come into your life at a certain point of it for a good reason. To learn, to grow, to heal, to forgive, to get back on the right track, the right set of mind.
At the time, I felt stuck and then I found in my way this beautiful soul that I’ve been needing for so long.
Grace is this loving, kind, thoughtful, great listener of a human being. Getting to know her, you just feel so empowered, great about yourself. She will not come up to you with any preconceptions. She is the kind of woman that evaluates the fact, get to know someone before having an opinion and in that period of time, not only she’ll consider you for who you are and not for what people may think of you but she’s also going to lift you up to make sure you believe in yourself.
Sometimes I wish I could make sure she knows that all the great things she’s praising you about is actually the beautiful reflection of her soul.
I want to respect her privacy, I want to respect her feelings, I want to respect what she wants to share or not with me but I also want to make sure that, whether or not she’s feeling ok, I am here for her.
Otherwise, what friendships are all about ?
Our duty is to lift each others up, to make sure that we have each other’s back and that we can rely on one another for the greater good.
What could I do then ?
I would say to Grace : I thank God for putting you in my life. That knowing you increase my fate and even though I can’t be right next to you to hold you and make you feel appreciated, admired, inspired by or simply just right by your side, I love you and my life wouldn’t be the way it is without you in it. I am so thankful for you. I know you are not feeling great right now. Behind this beautiful smile and behind those kind words you are not ok, and I can’t do anything to make the pain stop. But I will be here for you if you need me, I will love you no matter what because I know your heart and meeting just a glimpse of your soul was life changing for me. Through everything, you can count on me to support you, to be a shoulder you can cry on, to make you laugh if you need a clown…
Because gurl ! I got your back.
I think sometimes, as women, we need to write love letters to our friends because they are there for the long run. Because they show up when you need them the most. Because they share everything and anything with you. Because you grow with them and because they inspire you to be better.
We need to tell them that no matter what happens, we support them and if they feel down, we are there to listen to them and help them get back up. Because there are a lot of things that we don’t know going on in each others lives and you need to check each others up.
So Grace, I don’t know if I overstep my boundaries, but I love you and I am right here.
