I invite you to stay close to people who love you and see you for who you truly are. Stay close to people you don’t have to strive with or feel like you are proving yourself to. Stay close to people who feel like summer- warm, inviting, invigorating, positive, upbeat, bright, fun and that your days together feels like the kind you don’t want to end, and that when the sun sets, you have longer nights, closeness, with the intimacy of watching sunsets and the fun of riding bikes, feet dangling. Stay close to people who want open ended adventures with you, lasting as long as you want them to; people who invest in you as much as you invest in them. Stay close to people who lift you up, encourage you, give you warm affirming words, more hugs than you know what to do with, excitement on their face when they see you, people who pour into your dreams and pour into the relationships, who value you and want to see you succeed. Stay close to people who want the same, who want to learn you and doesn’t fight back when you share what you need and want. Stay close to people who feel like summer and don’t settle for less.
