I once lost a friendship that I never thought would come to an end. At least this is what we all think when things are all cute and rosy. I did not like how the relationship ended; there was a lot of animosity that arose from petty things and we were also young and stupid. I was angry and bitter for a very long time but I eventually was able to let go of things and move on. Sometimes I feel like I should reach out and go over affairs that separated us and see if amends can be done. But you know what? I am a proud person! My ego just wouldn't let me do it; besides, it's water under the bridge.
You are probably wondering where this is coming from and I’ll break it to you. I promised myself that I would try vulnerability this year and see where it lands me, hopefully in a better place than I am right now.
I am worried that my seven year old friendship with two of my closest friends is fading away. Likely because we don't see each other as much as we used to ( because adulting is real), possibly because we are at different chapters in our lives and we no longer share interests. It is scary when you realize the people you used to pour your heart to no longer have a connection with you. You start wondering whether you are the problem or they are the problem but its none of that. Life just happens, it has seasons and seasons come and go.
Now that I am older and wiser, I have accepted that it is okay for friendships to fade away, with animosity or without;because life has to go on regardless of whatever season we are in. I hope ours can be intentionally salvaged and if you can do the same for yours, do it because kind and honest people are hard to comeby.
