Friendship with ones self is all important because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
Have convictions. Be friendly. Stick to your beliefs as they stick to theirs....
I loved my 17 years with R.E.M. but I'm ready to reflect assess and move on...
I'm lucky to have a great support system in my friends and some of my family. If you have those people that you trust go ahead and fall back into them and let them be your hammock and cocoon and let them embrace you.
