I hate to break it to you...I've never hugged a porcupine.
But if you follow the analogy I'm going to make...I have.
So bear with me for a second.
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.
But there's something to be said for being there for other people despite the complexities of life. There's something to be said for the person who can be another persons rock even when their entire world is falling apart.
We can't 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'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 that is one of the most beautiful things in the world.
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...
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 loving someone just how they are.
That's what life is all about.
That' what we deserve.
