a wise friend of mine recently tried to pass on a pearl.

he said, "younger people think the mark of true friendship is unconditional approval. but older people know that true friendship is marked by someone who will call you on your shit."

still chewing on that. and thinking about the times in twothousandnine when i got called out over and over and over again. or wanted approval over and over and over again. i hated that year. can i be young and old?

thank goodness for turning corners, loyalty, humility, being alone but not lonely, and faking it until i made it.

lesley, is this too cryptic for you?

Um, yes...it is too cryptic but I think I get it. I'll tell you another thing that's cryptic...that Chinese writing in the first comment. Do you have a friend across the Pacific we don't know about?
