So I hate to break it to you, but I've never actually hugged a porcupine.
But in this metaphor, 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.
When you throw in thoughts and emotions life starts to get 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 really beautiful part about this?
You give someone the opportunity to take care of you and love you for who 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...
Hug those people tight.
Nourish them. Love them. Take care of them. Break down their walls and barriers if they don't have the courage to do it themselves. Stand right in front of them and say, "I love you exactly the way you are...no matter what version that may be right now. I'm right here."
That's true love. That's the good stuff.
That's really loving someone for who they are.
That's what we all deserve.
That' what we deserve.
