Part of being a friend to someone else is being able to be a friend to yourself. I am working everyday on being a better friend to myself so that I can be a better friend to others. As I continue to be a better friend to myself; l am spending time with me, learning about me, discovering who I am. This is who I am... Who are you? Please share...
