So, I hate to break it to you...I've never truly hugged a porcupine.
But in this metaphor, I have.
I think you'll vibe with this one big time.
Relationships are incredibly complicated.
All types of relationships are complicated. It's 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, when you throw peoples emotions, past events, and egos into the equation as well it gets even more complicated.
However, there's something to be said for the person who stays another persons rock no matter what is going on in their life. There's something special about being someone who can support another person despite their misbehavior.
We all need someone to put our back up against when times get tough. The reality is, we actually all really need that person in our life. We need someone to talk to, to express our deepest fears and our greatest wishes, our worries, doubts, fears, insecurities and everything else in between.
But it takes vulnerability.
It's going to take you breaking down your walls and barriers and really confiding in someone else. You don't censor your life. You don't hide the nasty parts of your character. You just show people who you are.
So what's the beautiful part about all of this?
You give another person an opportunity to love you just the way you are.
You become imperfectly perfect to them and give them the opportunity to support you.
We all, deep down, are thirsting for a love that seems to be harder and harder to come by these days.
So when people out there in the world are really hurting, when they are suffering, when they are emotional and in pain and may seem a bit prickly like a porcupine...
Give those people a hug.
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.
That's the good stuff. That's real love.
That's really loving someone for who they are.
That's how we all deserve to be loved.
That's what we all deserve.
