"Layers, my dear, layers."

I love this comment, my best friend's interpretation of the complex and contradictory inner workings of a person. Discovering the struggles and conflicts within when faced with an uncomfortable new arrangement of living is definitely worthwhile, so long as there is a friend there to ease the discovery of self, which can sometimes be a blow! I think Jesus would agree with this, very much, for in the course of life, we are destined to unveil our imperfections and flaws continuously -- just as we unveil our strengths and victories in a continuous, ongoing manner -- and it is love that enables us to keep growing and not be stunted by the difficulty of layers.
