Develop friendships with those who allow you to be yourself.

Sing joyfully to the Lord, you righteous; it is fitting for the upright to praise him. For the word of the Lord is right and true; he is faithful in all he does. The Lord loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love. By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:1,4-6

When I was in grade school, I often received letters from other kids I made friends with during summer vacation. My brother made a comment one day that none of them ever wrote to him. I responded with, "To have a penpal, you have to be a penpal." Years later, I nodded with understanding the first time I heard, "To have friends, you have to be a friend." Reach out today!
