Old friendships...

I had the chance to meet with a friend yesterday who I haven't seen in more than 14 years. She said the most profound thing about one of her relationships.

She said, "If I want her to accept me for who I am, then I have to accept her for who she is, EVEN if that means that part of who she is means she cannot accept me for who I am."

Yes, yes, yes, you have to read it and analyze it to really see the depth, but when you do, it makes you think.

At one point in our wonderful conversation I said, "I don't want anything, but I want everything, and we can be done with that now." She said I should psycho-analyze that comment. Anyone care to give your professional opinion? :o)
