Thank you to a dear friend...............

How is it that after spending time with some people you feel so energized, so rejuvenated, so refreshed, while with some others you feel fatigued, tired and just plain simple bored. I guess it depends on the kind of conversation you have, the energy exchange you experience and just how the other person's presence makes your own being feel. Today I met for lunch with a friend who just makes me feel at ease and I find it so easy to share a conversation with. Anything either of us say is completely unjudged and looked at in a totally different perspective. I find it so easy to share my weaknesses with them.......in fact one can almost talk about anything under the sun and its easy because there is such a mutual feeling of empathy and compassion for our human limitations. No one is out there to give advice or to make you feel better or with the ever ready......"Don't feel like that" or the "That's not true, you're such a nice person, you shouldnt feel like that...." People seem to always be ready to make you feel better. Sometimes what you want is a friend who can just listen and be there.........not someone who can tell you that you don't have that weakness, or that youre the best........but rather someone who knows that the other person is just sharing their awareness about themselves. And that person too knows his or her own limitations and so understands what it means to share one's problems..........they may not necessarily be problems that need a solution.......but rather problems that help us dwell deeper into our own selves............
I want to thank this friend for being there for me.............sometimes we feel we're like soul sisters..........because the similarities are just too strange to be true. Thank you Prerna...........thanks for just listening and not judging me..........thanks for sharing that passion for life...........thanks for striving for perfection...........thanks for understanding others limitations because you know your own.............
Thank you.................
