“I look back now and realize that the gift of a true friend is that she sees you not the way you see yourself or the way others see you. A true friend sees you for who you are and who you can become.” - Robin Jones Gunn

Decryption of quote

"I look back now and realize that the gift of a true friend is that she sees you not the way you see yourself or the way others see you. A true friend sees you for who you are and who you can become."

Imagine having someone in your life who truly understands you, someone who sees beyond the masks you wear and the walls you put up. That is the essence of a true friend. They see your potential, your strengths, and your flaws, but most importantly, they see the real you.

A true friend is like a mirror that reflects back to you the best version of yourself. They believe in you when you doubt yourself, they support you when you feel lost, and they challenge you to grow and evolve into the person you are meant to be.

It is easy to get caught up in our own self-perception or the opinions of others, but a true friend cuts through all the noise and sees you for who you truly are. They see your unique qualities, your passions, and your dreams, and they encourage you to pursue them with all your heart.

Having a true friend by your side is like having a guiding light in the darkness. They help you navigate the ups and downs of life, offering a listening ear, a shoulder to lean on, and a hand to hold when you need it most.

So cherish the true friends in your life, for they are rare gems that shine brightly in a world full of superficial connections. They see the beauty in your imperfections, the potential in your struggles, and the growth in your journey. And most importantly, they see the incredible person you are destined to become.
