Friendship

I treasure nights like this when I am face to face with one of those wonderful people I have the privilege to call friends and am reminded of why I care for them as much as I do. Tonight I had tea at home with my best guy friend since freshman year. We have seen each other grow so much. I was so encouraged when he told me that I had grown into "an amazing woman" since freshman year. We both agreed that Paris was the turning point. So Sabrina, so cliche, but so true. And at the same time he called me out on a blindspot I have that is my eager embrace of intellectualism and that side of myself. Friends that can act as a mirror and can be honest with you are very rare, but he's one of those. And tonight I was reminded to embrace the person in all her glory and beauty that is Jenny, simply Jenny, aside from activities and accomplishments. No changing one fig leaf for another.


All that to say.... good things happen over a cup of tea
