The Few & the Rare

What relationships have a positive impact on you?

Relationships are complicated from family to friends and coworkers even the ones who have one’s heart. The effects can vary.

Growing up. I heard and I wanted to believe the lie that family is a safe haven of trust, love and safety. Although, for me, it was anything but. My ability to see beyond the physical realm made most of my family uncomfortable.

The relationships that are few and rare that produces trust and accountability are the few friendships I have with people who aren’t afraid of the truth and even braver to speak it.

During high school, I learned about someone who was considered to be tough and brutal who my parents didn’t want me to be friends with. Back then and now, I respect her for her honesty and truthfulness about me and my family plus she respects me for the same.

The few & the rare relationships honor truth, honesty and respect. The truth might be harder to swallow than the lie but one knows where one stands.
