To be Accepted and Seen

Journeys often veer off unexpectedly and seemingly small decisions can impact our lives greatly, often in unforeseen ways. A chance encounter from a last-minute night out. A large decision to change a career path that leads to a most cherished friendship. Surprising yet beautiful outcomes can come from every big or small decision we make. Were these people meant to cross my path or were they validation that I was going the right way? True love within a friendship or relationship is to be seen and accepted. To grow together in a mutual support, to lean on one another. Whether travelers on the same road or met at an intersection, I am eternally grateful for those decisions that led me to the people in my life that I value most. The people who hold a space of love where I am safe to be seen and know I will always be accepted.
