Im Okay With You

I’m Okay With You I’m okay with you. Doesn’t matter what you think— Politically or religiously. I like you even though we disagree. I like talking to you about music and sports— About cinema, literature and art. I respect your opinion on all things. You are my friend, and as such, You will always receive the benefit of the doubt. You will always be respected, regardless of circumstances, Regardless of vehement disagreements spoken in anger. You are my friend and have earned my good will. You have grown to become the fierce wind at my back. I say: Thank you, my friend, for staying loyal. My hope for you is one of good health and good cheer. And please know this: There are no eggshells in my garden. Truly, I’m okay with you.

I pulled up this oldie. You have a very conversational and easy style and it is so touching.

A grand + persuasive tribute to a friend of lasting value. I especially enjoyed the final lines referencing our careful walk on eggshells to avoid offending. A friendship sans eggshells is certainly worth preserving. Best wishes, Brian
