Are you well known? I don’t mean whether you’re famous or not. I mean does another person know you well, inside and out? Is there somebody in your life who knows all your secrets, who has full access to the details of your life, and who still loves you for who you are? That kind of closeness is rare in our society. Even people under the same roof often don’t know much about what makes each other tick. And it can be lonely when you feel like nobody knows you. But we’ve been designed for more than anonymity and being unknown. We can be well-known—even fully known—and we can have those kinds of relationships with other people too.
