Friends
Friends. I have handfuls of good friends yet I truly only have a few friends in whom I can confide. Thus far, I have seen friends come and go. Even though I “lost” a few friends I gained more in return. To my surprise, many of those lost friends have “come back” into my life even though it feels as if they have never gone away.
My mum mention to me that she had a closeknit group of friends back in high school. Even so, she was only really close to one or two of them. After high school they remained friends but time and distance temporarily separated them. They attended college, pursued their careers, and raised their own families. They rarely spoke yet each time they spoke again they rekindled and nurtured their friendship. Mom would say, “…it were as if we only last spoken yesterday, not years.”
Friendship is not measured by how much time you spend together but it is measured the quality of the time spend together. It is not the distance and ”busy schedules” that hurts the friendship. It is the lack of trust, effort, appreciation, and love that can hurt our friendships and relationships. Even if you may have a busy schedule or other friends, you can still maintain a healthy relationship as long as you show the effort to keep it. I’m DUNZO.
