Love this guest post from Preston Yancey: "I surround myself with people who do not necessarily agree with everything I believe, say, or identify as, but who are people who curate a space of trust in which I am free to bring all of those things to the table with the safety to work them out and discuss them. I seek to do the same in turn. Because of this, I end up with friends radically different than me religiously, socially, racially, politically, but who are nonetheless safe spaces for me to check my own thoughts. Sometimes we fight, sometimes we don’t talk about the things that divide us, sometimes we laugh and sometimes we cry, but enough authentic, time-earned trust has been won to ensure that when we disagree with each other, we know that we are disagreeing with things that are outside of the primary, fundamental value we have placed on the well-being of the other."
