the idea of a ‘best friend’ is just the highest form of tenderness like. it’s the epitome of choosing someone over and over, maybe even subconsciously because you just. know on some unspeakable level that your lives are supposed to be entwined, that the connection between you is fatefully significant and necessary

“You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of [their] heart, someone who thinks about you constantly, someone who spends every minute of every day just wondering what you’re doing, where you are, who you’re with, and if you’re OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who could make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.”

“What we really want to know is that we’re not alone. We need to know someone else has endured nights of barely breathing and they kept waking up to new mornings. Over the years, I’ve learned that the most compassionate response we can give someone who’s not okay is, “That must be really difficult.” That, plus a hug. It doesn’t resolve their question or relieve their fear, but it reminds them we’re in this together. It removes the sense of shame we feel when we struggle in secret, and it removes the facade of needing to pretend we have the simple answer to really complex issues. Just enter into the ambiguity of the hurting people around you. Admit that you don’t know what they’re feeling, but you do know that you’re with them. They’re not looking for a quick answer. They need a good friend. No one is going to believe any of our answers if we don’t let them know that we have a couple of questions, too.”— Bob Goff, Live in Grace, Walk in Love
