Here's the thing...

I was venting to my little sister about my love life... and afterward I was just thinking about all the grand things about having sisters.
likewise, 

I was talking to one of my best friends today on the phone... and afterward I was just thinking about all of the grand things about having best friends. 

When I was a child my mama used to tell me that I was somewhat co-dependent and relied on others a lot. I took a lot of offense to this, but in retrospect -like always - mama was right. 

Here's the thing.

I've decided I'm no longer co-dependent. I just really love the people that make me a better person.

So here's a shout out to my family and friends! Because as a strong independent woman, I rely on you in my life because you make me a better person.

Thank you. Your love means everything to me.
