I wish, such a relationship existed where two people could share how they feel and simply being heard.

No advice. No positivity-ing it away. Just listen, acknowledge and hug. Maybe asking a few questions so that your friend can reflect.

Being heard and human touch seems like the ultimate safety. Not all of our issues can be solved. Some just need permission to exist.

Acceptance. An unyielding want to be there for someone because you simply love them. Taking in all of their flaws and loving them for their flaws. Being there to guide them, maybe, because we all have insights one doesn't see inside themselves, yet you love them for who they are for you.
