"Your friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you."
~ Elbert Hubbard
A true friend doesn't expect you to self-edit. We tend to engage in self-editing when someone has hurt us or failed to listen to us in the past. We do this when we are unsure of ourselves and fear being misunderstood.
If you are talking to a true friend, you don't have to change your words or worry about things being misunderstood. A true friend will always read between the lines anyway. She'll know what you mean by the look in your eyes and hear it in the tone of your voice.
Most of all, when she gets confused, she will ask for clarification because it's easier than worrying or wondering about your state of mind.
Sometimes we can over-edit our words and cause the original meaning of our messages to get lost. That's a shame. A true friend will always respect your beautiful soul and
a true friend will always want to know what beauty resides within your heart.
