food for the soul

Do you have a friend that just feeds your very life with the richness of words and the strenth of an army? Who isn't afraid to reach down into the deepest parts of your world and draw elements out that have been laying dormant for years? Who gives you the permission to invade your dreams without a second thought and without inhibition? Who actually demands that you do so to the point where you're convinced that if you didn't give away what you have that it would be a crime against humanity? I do and I love her for these reasons. She makes me feel completely safe and completely unconfortable at the same time.

For the record, if you feel the need to tell me what you think of me, please do! My love language is words of affirmation, and on the whole, I really think that women just need to hear the thoughts of other women about their amazingness. I'll gladly pelt you with exhortations all day long if that's what you need, because it's what I need.
