Friendship Revisited

Have you been reexamining your life lately? While there are a vast amount of things to revisit as you mature, unfortunately friendships are to be included among them. People don’t like to admit it, but as we get older your standard friendships don’t always continue to fit in your life. You may have had running partners for mischief in the past, but now you need rock stars for charity. Or, maybe not, but the point is that people change and not always in the same direction.


Yes, it can feel bad when separating from a companion, but it can be better for you both in the long run. Don’t accept misery in the name of friendship. Friends are supposed to make each other happy in one way or another; enrich each others lives. Chances are that if someone no longer floats your boat, you’re probably not keeping them adrift either. The specifics are different in each person’s story, but the truth remains the same.


Dare to find and keep friends that you can be your present self with, instead of being pigeon holed into old dealings. Your true self is special and should be celebrated not only by the company you keep. With that said, if you’re blessed enough to have wonderful friends that have stood the test of time, that’s fantastic. Honor them by treasuring the relationship daily.
