Lots of Layers

Someone recently told me that it shouldn't take so much work to get to know a person. That hurt. I don't think I am a complicated person, but I don't consider myself an open book either. There are lots of layers to who I am. The friends I've had for years who know me well have gone through life with me through changes endured both separately at varying stages and together simultaneously at different degrees. We saw each other through. If I am worth it, then I am worth the work you put into getting to know me, which I am. Do the time and show me your patience in getting to know me, and I will do the same for you.
