So I hate to break it to you, but I've never actually hugged a porcupine.
But in this analogy...I have.
So bear with me for a second.
Relationships are incredibly complicated.
Our friendships, romantic relationships, and even acquaintances can be complicated at times. People are naturally messy and life adds its own messiness to it many times. It's a miracle we can even get along in the first place.
Then throw in people's past experiences into the pot with a dash of ego and we have even more of a miracle that we can get along.
But there's something really to be said about "being there" for people despite all of the complexities of life. There's something to be said for being someone's rock when everything seems to be falling apart around them.
We all need someone to support us from time to time when things get hard. Because the reality is that we can't do this thing called life all on our own. We need others to confide in. We need others to give us a hand.
But that takes vulnerability and vulnerability is one of the scariest things in the world.
It's going to take you breaking down your walls and barriers and really confiding in someone else. You don't censor your life. You don't hide the nasty parts of your character. You just show people who you are.
So what's the really beautiful part about this?
You give someone the opportunity to love you just the way you are and just the way you aren't.
You become imperfectly perfect to them and they love you to death for knowing all of those flaws you've so desperately tried to hide from the world.
We are all deep down thirsting for someone to love us in this crazy world.
So remember that when people are out there in the world really hurting, suffering, and facing challenges, they can be a bit prickly like a porcupine sometimes...
Give those people a hug.
No matter what is going on in a persons life, let them know that they are loved and that they have support.
That's true love.
That's not asking someone to be anything but who they are.
That's what we all deserve.
That' what we deserve.
