My favorite people to be around are my wife, some of my good friends, some of my wife’s coworkers, and anyone who can make me laugh until my stomach hurts.
I am learning that I struggle to open up to people and I want to get better about that. I feel like part of the reason I feel like I’ve been hiding behind a facade is because it’s so hard to open up and trust people. I can’t wait to start opening up more to some chosen people who I know will not hurt me because they are nice people. I know that sometimes people are hurtful unintentionally, and that’s ok. We all that do sometimes. But I have allowed myself to be around a lot of people who are intentionally hurtful because I didn’t think I deserved better.
I am hoping by this time next year I will have lots of new friends to add to this list of my favorite people to be around. My goal is to open up more and more this year and let people get to know the real me and stop hiding things I was taught were bad or wrong.
