They say each person is a combination of their 7 closest friends, & I agree. I’ve often thought of my soul with 4 strands of rope/souls being the foundation for what it can hold, what it is made for, what its capable of. There are 4 people I am 100% comfortable with who know every cobweb corner of myself, who know my desires, who know the backwards ways I see things, who had a powerful force in creating the way learned to think 20 years ago, and who, regardless of years inbetween lifes hellos still shape the favorite parts of who I am that make me- me. Theres nothing I wouldn’t tell them. Theres most likely nothing they don’t already know. These friends make up who I am, & because of them, my soul found itself.
Whenever I’m with any one of them I feel home. On one hand I can’t think straight because every door of thought is open, on the other hand, I think clearer than ever because there are no stop signs to my thoughts. Its the biggest blessing to be able to throw away the mental edit buttons & to not have to care what someone will think of your twisted points of views, to be able to freely be yourself without hesitancy.
Most times I forget & just see these friendships as normal, as common, & take them for granted. Other times my heart reminds me that in this life, having friendships like these- is everything. These friendships are filled with unconditional love & unconditional acceptance & are one of the most beautiful gifts God didn’t have to give me, and He did anyways They push me to question myself when I should, they remind me of who I am, they don’t let me settle for less in life or less from myself, they make me think twice, they make me face my fears, my passions, myself. Because of them I am so much more than I ever would have been with out them..
