So, I hate to break it to you...I've never truly 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.
Our friendships, romantic relationships, and even acquaintances can be complicated at times. People are naturally messy and life adds its own messiness to it many times. It's a miracle we can even get along in the first place.
Then throw in people's past experiences into the pot with a dash of ego and we have even more of a miracle that we can get along.
However, there's something to be said for the person who stays another persons rock no matter what is going on in their life. There's something special about being someone who can support another person despite their misbehavior.
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 love you just the way you are and just the way you aren't.
You become imperfectly perfect to them and give them the opportunity to support you.
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.
No matter what is going on in a persons life, let them know that they are loved and that they have support.
That's true love.
That's really loving someone for who they are.
That's what life is all about.
That' what we deserve.
