Patchwork Quilt
That is life. A patchwork quilt. In our youth, the people we grow up with, those who are present in our lives on a regular basis, they weave together into a habble-scrabble of a quilt. Perhaps they all look similar. Or perhaps they are from a range of ethnicities and religions. Everyone’s quilt looks different. But, bottom line, everyone’s quilt provides the comfort of familiarity.

With the Right Friends...
With the right friends, we can do anything in this world. When we are on our own, we can accomplish. Perhaps even all that we can accomplish if we have support. But it is ten times harder. When we have the right friends, however… with the right friends, we can conquer the world. With the right friends, soul friends, we are free to be free. We are free to be who we are, completely, without holding back. We are, unapologetically, nakedly, the Me we were born to be. How is that?
