One of the values we share at Real Life is learning to live life in community with others. Why do we need to live life in community? It's simple, because alone is never a good place for us to be. All of us will struggle on occasion, all of us will fail from time to time, and all of us will need some encouragement now and then. Living a life connected to others provides a venue for that to happen.
Is it easy? Nope.
It means we have to allow ourselves to actually be open to others. It means we have to allow them to see things in us that are less than perfect. Most of us aren't willing to go there. We don't want people to see the imperfections in us. We want to put on our happy faces and let people believe the illusion that we have it all together.
Don't fall for that trap. Allow people to love you for who you are. Be who you are...but be it together.
