A true friend will hold you to a higher standard. Someone that really cares won’t ‘validate your feelings’ if it’s not good for you. They’ll be kind, they’ll be loving and tell you what’s hard for you to hear at times.

When organizations bring me in, it is my practice to hold them to a higher standard. Anything else is fluff.
