We really do need to be our own best friends, our own cheerleaders and our own advocates. No one can speak up for you better than you can, only you know the true depth of your darkness.
Which is ideal when you need to speak up for yourself or ask for help and do yourself justice when advocating for your needs, hopes and desires.
Yes, friends are cool, we can share our feelings, help each other out or even just watch a bad movie and have meaningless conversations.
The simplest things can make all the difference when connecting with your friends, your chosen family.
We can often find true beauty within our friendships, when you notice a familiar laugh or smile, or hear that warm voice saying, ‘Good night, sleep tight’.
We need that beauty in our lives, it is vital.
But when it becomes a necessity, things can become toxic very easily, slowly we rely on these companions for more and more, not always, but sometimes, and sometimes can be all it takes to sour a good apple.
When you start to trust your own judgement, discernment and advice you awaken a power within you that can really help you begin living now, only then can you give your full presence and gifts to those you hold dear.
Please cherish your relationships, but remember they are an accessory, you are the necessity.
