Pieces...

Ever stop to think about how the people in your life all see just pieces of you. Honestly think on it for a minute. Each person in your life sees you in a different way. Your parents see you as the child they raised, always seeing a piece of the child you were in their eyes when they look at you, no matter what age you are now. Your friends know you in a way that is miles away from how your boyfriend or husband does. Each person in your life has this tiny glimpse of you. Are their people in your life that are actually lucky enough to get the whole you? If so do they really get and accept all of you? The goofy, silly, quirky bits that sometimes don't even make sense to you? I was thinking about this the other day when my best friend was here as we go back to when we were 11. For 2 girls friendships, that is a long time to remain friends and have lifestyles as diverse as we do. She is happily married to her HS sweetheart while I am single. She has 3 children ranging in age from 15- 8 while have none. Yet we make time for each other, sharing all our important details of out lives with each other. Though I am sure there are things that as close as we are, her husband knows that I do not. Does this bother me? No, not really. The reason why is that while I might not see that piece of my best friend I know her as a whole, and that whole is part of the person that makes me whole...and that is enough for me. I know that at this point in time there is no one in my life that has the whole me down, but someday there might be....and the idea of that makes me smile.
