Honored

BTW, I realize that the last post might seem out of the blue. I wrote that email to a friend because that friend had felt regret for sharing with me more than they were comfortable with sharing. It wasn't about that the friend had shared with me, it was about what the friend had shared.

I hate advise. But, this would be my advise in life, anyway... Never regret sharing anything with a true friend. You honor that friend by allowing them to know you in every way that is vulnerable and strong, and in letting that friend in, a friend who can be strong for you, that which you beleive makes you weak does not. You, and the friend, indeed, gather strength from the experience of going deeper into the fold.

I beleive this. If this comfort in life is not true, and I am an idiot, I'd like to remain so. Never tell me different and leave me to the bliss of my friendships and ignorance.
