The class on unconditional positive regard was interesting as it placed an emphasis on valuing people as they are rather than liking them. Learning that liking someone, was limiting and was based on a lot of conditions made me realise that I am not as accepting of others as I thought and that a lot of my openess is based on a lot of sub-conscious commonality.

In a weird way it also helped me to write a thank you card I’ve been wanting to write but didn’t know how to express what I was thanking my friend for, she did a really beautiful thing for me by organising a surprise, that truly was wonderful and I throughly enjoyed it but I knew that I didn’t want to thank her for the surprise it was more that I wanted to thank her for making me feel valued, cared for,remembered and it was so nice taking a back seat and not being the one who has to be in control, organising stuff because usually in my world that is the way it usually works.
