Fascinating reflection, and didn’t know there were bot friends. Life is messy … something one of wiser human girlfriends of history reminded me when I was in the pit of despair. I am lucky my friends of history take me as I am, mess and all. Given my age in my 60’s , it feels like our culture taught us , especially women, that life isn’t messy unless you have really screwed up, been less than , or been careless or thoughtless or god forbid, got into conflict with friends and didn’t have the communication skills to explore that safely. This blog is so supportive of deepening real relationships. I don’t want a friend to reflect myself back at me - I want a friend to understand and love other, and learn how to be connected.

Thank you so much for your thoughts, Suzette—I love having your perspective in our community! I’m also so glad to have friends who, not only put up with my mess, but seem to love me because of it.
