Wisdom?

So this one time, my best friend asked me for some advice. She's discovered she's a bit non-committal. I don't know where this advice came from, but I need to remember it, too. So, here it is. My advice to my best friend...who is pretty much awesome.

So, I'll 'elp' you out. Apparently I have no passion. I know, I know. But really, ever since Bryan went on his mission, I don't know. When I really open up to someone, (except you) they just disappoint me? Not that I have that high of expectations...I take that back. My expectations are extremely high. "I love her anyway." That's all I want! Well. We are protective of ourselves. We really don't want to get hurt, or for us to hurt someone else. We care too much! I hate hurting people, but in the back of my head, I think, I'm crazy enough that I'm doing this person a favor by not seeing the real me. That way, neither of us gets as hurt as we would have. I know, it's stupid. We are essentially the same person, but you are nicer. So you care more than I do about hurting people. You probably see your flaws as huge boulders that people shouldn't have to climb over. But what you need to find are people who decide that you are worth climbing the mountains and swimming those oceans. And when they prove that to you, then those hills won't seem so big. I don't know what it is! I find the same problem. But I don't think it's so much non-committal as finding the right people to decide are worth it. Really, not everyone is awesome enough to deserve the walls of Jericho to come down. But there are some that are, and when they present themselves, I think the Spirit will let us know it. And I think they will let their guard down and we will, too. Uh, if this had made any sense, then good for you!
I love you, you're awesome. Everything will work out.
