At first I was tentative. Unsure. And yes, I was absolutely freaking out.
But I had lunch with some friends who I have known for twenty years, had a drink or two for courage and blurted out that this year I wanted to open an etsy store.
Although it was something that I had been thinking of for years, for them it was a total surprise. They knew I painted and yet, they were (and still are) some of my biggest supporters.
It has been easier since that day to confide in friends. And although I am still crap at talking about my painting, I am more at ease with sharing my art with people. And the more I share, the more confident I become.
So in response to this weeks inspiration avenue prompt, (celebrating friendships), I thought about my various friendships and what, for me, makes the best of friends.
And I realised, for me, at the very heart of friendship is some one who will keep safe your hearts deepest desire.
And those that can't or wont - well they become acquaintances.
I would love to know what you think is at the core of friendships. What for you makes the best of friends? Feel free to share in the comments below.
