DPP 0811, Day 10 – (My) Susan

There are some people who try to please you as a poor excuse for loving you. If we are surrounded by nothing but this sort of people, then our view of reality becomes skewed. We either become self-righteous or self-entitled, neither of which is a good character trait to have. As my younger brother would say, you’d start smelling punch-y because a whole lot of people would want to punch you in the face.

But, I digress.

There are, however, a select few who do accept us for all our frailties, but slowly shove nudge us to better ourselves. It’s not that they want us to turn our bad into good as many of us initially suspect. But, rather it is to grow the good in us such that there comes a point where it will actually blanket and bury the bad. Susan is one of these extraordinarily pushy people in my life. Growth is never an easy process, but I am truly happy to be truly loved.
