True friendships have always been one of the most difficult things for me to recognize in all my 30 years. I was either too desperate to be seen, heard and understood, thereby settling for any sort of attention. Or so afraid of being judged by everyone who crossed my path, that it somehow provoked me to hide. For years, I was inhibited and confided by my own negative perception of the outside world. Carried away by flattery and taking all criticism to heart at once, I was exhausting myself on both ends. Fortunately, despite all this inner conflict, there remained a few people who have seen me in both occasions. Those who not only showed me how to get over my fear of rejection but also humble myself through it all. Genuinely understanding individuals whom I can actually, for once, call a friend, and nothing more or less. This might be ordinary to most, but for someone who has taken a lifetime searching, it means everything! No matter how long it has taken me, finally reaching that point in my lifes journey is worth every lonely second!
