Reaching Out To Me

Happy Saturday!!! I hope your weekend is going well. I actually had a chance to hang out with an estranged friend. We have gone back and forth since we met, but we just can't leave each other alone. Usually I am giving good advice that he's not ready to hear or accept.  What's funnier is that when he tells people his problems, they offer different variations of the same advice.  Rather than admit he's wrong,  he'll stop speaking to you. Do you have anyone like this in your life? What makes these connections so hard to break? I must say, he can walk me back from "the ledge" with his candid conversation. Also, he's so very handy when things break down and need fixing. There's a balance of give and take that we share, and a history of experiences that we've been through. Not everyone in his life puts up with the drama or welcomes him back into their midst. What advice do you offer the person who has a gruff exterior and marshmallow interior? I bank on the truth. It's a hard pill to swallow but is always the best path. After all of the recent suicides in the news, there are so many more suffering in silence.  I always offer a listening ear with no judgement passed. My phone is almost always on,  and my heart is open to what you have to say. That's part of the journey to the best life, the purple life. Reach out to me. Let me know how your journey is going. Thank you for sharing. Take Care and God Bless!!!
