Healing hearts

Thank you life for befriending me with S. She’s such an exceptional soul and as we caught up on our lives and opened up our hearts on the phone this morning, the both of us grew and healed. I’m rejoiced at the thought of having such a nurturing and supportive friend, and I’m humbled that I do the same for her. The past 3 years have been difficult when it comes to my social interactions and I haven’t been proud of the way I neglect some of the people I cared about.

Early in the conversion, I asked S’s advice and feedback when it comes to the quality of my friendship. She promptly reassured me that I was interesting and caring, and that my flaws were no bigger than other humans. What made all the difference is to learn that I brough her as much as she gave me. I’m so glad that I managed to support her in difficult times even if I was critical and judgemental. It’s an honour for having contributed to her extraordinary accomplishment. I’m so blessed to know her.

I’m realizing more and more that healing is a collaborative journey. Through other’s knowledge, skills, experiences and support we construct the path to our solutions and vice versa. It takes a village to raise us all, no matter our age. With a lighter heart and a tired body that has been through an abondance of deep emotions, I go to bed early hopeful and confident in a better future.
