New Friends


March 29th.

I took a risk today and called my new friend Beth to talk about how I’m feeling. This time it was not about work. I felt vulnerable but I did it anyway. I hoped she would relate. I know she feels as I do, that she has a calling in life and there is no other choice but to pursue it. I spoke of my feelings of insecurity, and not knowing where they were coming from. She was wonderful and shared similar feelings. It’s funny how self assured other people think we are. We appear so confident. It’s reassuring to know that she has her insecurities and fears too. After sharing on this level we are no longer new friends but close friends.
