So, I hate to break it to you...Ive never truly hugged a porcupine.
But if you follow the analogy Im going to make...I have.
So bear with me for a second.
Relationships can be incredibly complicated.
All types of relationships are complicated. Its amazing that any of us get along in the first place. With all of the craziness of life going on, life can be pretty difficult at times.
Then throw in peoples past experiences into the pot with a dash of ego and we have even more of a miracle that we can get along.
However, theres something to be said for the person who stays another persons rock no matter what is going on in their life. Theres something special about being someone who can support another person despite their misbehavior.
We cant do this thing called life all by ourselves. We have to have people there to support us when we are down and when we really need a helping hand.
But that takes vulnerability and vulnerability is one of the scariest things in the world.
It takes you being willing to break down your walls and really confiding in another person. It takes trust. It takes you being willing to put your faith in another person being able to take care of you.
So whats the beautiful part about all of this?
You give someone the opportunity to love you just the way you are and just the way you arent.
You become imperfectly perfect to them and give them the opportunity to support you.
We are all thirsting for a type of love that allows us to feel truly loved.
So remember that when people are out there in the world really hurting, suffering, and facing challenges, they can be a bit prickly like a porcupine sometimes...
Hug those people tight.
Nourish them. Love them. Give them the care they need. Break down their walls and let them know that they are loved no matter what.
Thats true love.
Thats really loving someone for who they are.
Thats what life is all about.
That what we deserve.
