A friend to everyone

At my preschool graduation, each student received an award. As everyone expected, I was granted “the friend to everyone” prize. // Friends with everyone. That was me. It was one of my attributes I admired the most as a child and continued to admire into adulthood. Given the opportunity, I could connect with anyone who crossed my path. // It wasn’t until recently that I realized (and duh!) that I don’t have to connect with everyone. I don’t even have to be liked by everyone. // My award and role in life was not in how I was with others, but instead how I am with myself. My heart belongs to me and I get to choose who I share it with. // Such Truth, right? // #truthbombs #awakeningoflife #awakenings #seekers #boundaries #heartopener #heartfelt #connections #connecting #choosingtruth #mytruth #truthbomb #truth□ #preschoolawards #womenchangingtheworld #changemakers □@_bethany_o
