Friends

A good friend came over today. One who is not content with "fine" as the answer to "how are you?". That can be really, really annoying! Especially if you're not in the mood to go beyond fine.
But there's also a really good side to all those questions. In the past her asking questions has forced me to put many many thoughts and feelings into words. It has helped me find out who I am. It has also helped me discover who I am not. It has made me realize that there's more to me than even I think sometimes. I'm very grateful to her for taking the time and energy to listen, and to keep asking questions, even when I sometimes shoot daggers at her with my eyes!
