I really feel like I didn't have this kind of strength in my twenties -- the strength to really stand up for myself, to other people and also to myself directly. It took me a long time to develop the self-worth that's gotten to be a little less apologetic about who I am on the inside. And I feel like your friendship specifically helped me learn how to do this. I hope you know that you have forever changed me in that way. I may have gotten there otherwise but I don't know when and I don't know how. Your friendship has made me a stronger person and I am forever grateful for that. <br /><br />I'm not sure who the person who claimed you were flustered was but unless Joshua Jackson or Nathan Fillion or...Jon Bon Jovi was in that room, I'm here to tell you that they were wrong. The cells in your body don't know how to fluster outwardly without the above mentioned catalysts. And know if anyone ever gives you reason to question yourself again that they've clearly just misinterpreted your strengths. Because people don't come much stronger and more capable than you and I am forever proud to be able to call you my friend and to be able to say that you're even more impressive close up than you are from a distance!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03894999321348574624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458754972897317968.post-35100408986939641582016-06-01T07:30:43.309-07:002016-06-01T07:30:43.309-07:00I find it ironically funny sometimes when we, as i...I find it ironically funny sometimes when we, as individuals, hold so tightly to negative comments. Even in a moment filled with wonderful positivity (example, I supported a work function and afterwards there was a survey sent out, one specific question on my work, 49 "awesomes", 1 "she seemed flustered...THAT'S the one I dwell on). Who sent it? Who thinks this of me? And on and on. <br /><br />I can only imagine the immense tsunami that depression can do to a person and I commend you on your voice and the way you speak from the heart. In all the ways that I know you, I only see the kind, intelligent, extremely talented and hilariously funny person. <br /><br />I hope the next time you find yourself in this spot, those negative voices are whispers and with being public and truthful in this post you see how the strength and dignity of your vulnerability helps arm you in the battle that you can not control. <br /><br />Always here for you - Kimberly Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722913270199943785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458754972897317968.post-53043306993730115002016-05-31T16:08:00.802-07:002016-05-31T16:08:00.802-07:00Thanks, Vicki.

It's still a challenge for me to admit that I'm strong but one thing I have no trouble saying is that any strength I have is absolutely bolstered by friends like you.
