Wendy, in the time I have known you, I've never felt as if you were pushing me away or trying to convince me that you're "bad." We've disagreed on some things, but that's just par for the course in any friendship. HOWEVER! If you want to tell me you're bad, Ok... I can accept that. It doesn't mean that I'll love you any less, though. If you're "bad," it's a kind of "bad" I can live with. I can accept the "bad" parts as easily as I can accept the good parts. It doesn't make you any less "worthy" in my book!

If we were 3D friends and someone said something negative about our friendship, that would be THEIR problem, not mine or yours. They would have to deal with it on their own terms; whatever made them comfortable. If they couldn't be my friend because I was friends with you, then I didn't need their "friendship" to begin with!

I'm this way with all of my relationships. I make up my own mind about whom I can accept just as they are or whom I can't. There's many people that would want to be in my life, but if I can't accept their "bad" then I don't keep company with them.

Again... HOWEVER! In telling you all this, I'm not speaking in general terms. I am directly speaking to YOU, my dear friend, Wendy. I ACCEPT YOU JUST AS YOU ARE! Do you think YOU could accept Wendy just as she is?
