I love the person who somehow has, either naturally or developed through experience, an instant openness with others. She is a down-to-earth, loving, real, person that you feel you can tell anything to although you've only known her a moment. She is someone who says what everyone always thinks but doesn't have the guts to vocalize. And best of all, she doesn't judge you or ever put herself one bit higher than you.
This person has a strength about her that is not rugged or necessarily the result of painful experience overcome, but is just a core of goodness powerfully living life as it comes. She is a woman who lives with a "what can I do for you?" attitude and a "let's make this happen" drive. Although she may not even remember your name because you just met, she'll probably call you "sweetheart" or "baby," and wrap her arm around your shoulder as if to say "alright we can do this." No matter what life brings, as long as I have this woman's respect then I know she has my back.
I know someone like this, and today I was reminded of how refreshing it is to be around someone so strong, honest, real, approachable, open, and equal. It's raw humanity - not hidden behind walls of any kind -- it's inspirational.
