I know I am loved because.........

[Kenna]

I know I am loved because my friends support me. They may not always agree with me, but they support me.
They help me process life, and they support me.
I speak of true friends that know the real me (not the "only 5% of me" that I proactively decide to "put out there" because I don't think it's safe to put EVERYTHING about one's self online...)
I've met some amazing true friends *here*, who are worth every effort to "allow" them to know who I am and "allow" them to know 100% of me... and they support me....because they truly know and value how hard it is for me to open up to them and allow anyone into my real comfort zone.
And I try to let them know that I value them more than any riches in the world.

To find true friendships and bonds where you are supported and cared-for without stipulations or unrealistic expectations...that's Love.

They support me when I mess up...
They support me on bad days and good days...
They never let me down...
They support me by giving me space when I need it...
They support me by being there when I open my space to them...
They support me by being understanding to whatever I hold important to me....
They support me when I am passionate about subjects close to my heart (even when they do not agree with me)...
They support me by kicking my ass and telling me how it is when I made a stupid/impulsive decision....
They support me by loving me for who I am..... all 100% of me.
They support me, care for me when I need it, and love me by accepting me.

And I do the very same thing for them.
I know I am loved because my friends allow me to care for them and allow me to get to know 100% of them.
I know I am loved because we, as friends, have surrounded each other in our comfort zone.
