My support system

You know how I tend to worry what others think of me? How I'm so concerned with my outside matching my inside?

I got this text from my best friend tonight:

Jae is her daughter, 10.

THIS is what is important to me - my friends who I love and consider my family - they know who I am, what I am, and I have their support and love no matter what.

Too often I look to others for affirmation, for their approval, for their judgement.  Why?  I have no idea.  That continues to be something I work on.  But this just reminded me of how wonderful of a support system I have, those important to me don't judge me.  They encourage me, love me, put a smile on my face and that is what matters.
