Friends come and go! There are seasons for intimate relationships the same goes for platonic friendships. I have learned to embrace what was and what is to come from a far with ex-friends. Not all friendships are meant to be there for all the different version of yourself. But one thing I know for sure losing a friend is much worst then losing an intimate partner. It is important that the friends you keep are willing to grow with you as you do for them, mutual respect, and a connectedness that shows the work you put in each other.
I love this insight, Deb! I feel like the very distinct pain that comes from losing a friend must have something to do with how slowly it takes to TRULY arrive at a level of love, trust, and understanding with a person, void of "romance" in the traditional sense (there's still plenty of romance in friendships). We have "love at first sight" for romance, yet nothing comparable for friends. Maybe a "connection," but it still needs time and teasing out. It's built brick by brick, year by year, experience by experience thing. A slow burn.
Which makes the ones you can grow with seriously something special. Thank you for sharing, Deb ❤️
