If Christ Jesus dwells in a man as his friend and noble leader, that man can endure all things, for Christ helps and strengthens us and never abandons us. He is a true friend.
⚘Saint Teresa of Avila
I have long looked for a true friend. Someone who will stay with me. Someone who could understand my soul. How I thought. How I struggled. A person who knew the right words to touch that spot in my soul that needed healing.
I wanted to be loved by someone as the person that I am.
I searched tirelessly for this one. I have sought this person through both sin and sincerity. Whether I wandered in virtue or vice – no one was found. Everyone failed. No one truly saw me.
