......I’m not sure I understand friendship the way friendship
is meant to be.....I assumed I bonded well with others...but I have my
doubts....I have been thinking a lot about friends & friendship...forgiving
& forgiveness....expecting & expectations.....thinking about these
remarkable..borderline...essential aspects of life.....which makes me ponder the
the question.....does friendship have a self life?
...we all live in the days of “un-friending”.....who know it
was a verb.....believe me I am not bashing Facebook....I am an active user of
FB...a great way to be part of something..or someone’s life....even if its just
a snippet of their life.....or not...the control is at your finger tips...you
can un-follow and or un-friend with the strike of a key......don’t get me wrong
I know I am not the “decider” in how friendships should or shouldn’t be....the
sad thing is that everything has a beginning...and yes an ending.
....its funny how friendship is one of the strongest things
& the weakest things...unfortunately in some friendships the
anger...irritation....disappointment & contempt boil to the
surface.... people get hurt....and friendship ends.......sometimes...you are
lucky & the universe bestows you w/ such a strong friendship...one that can
survive tears...laughter...anger...confusion....a friendship that is both strong
& gentle.....isn't that what we all want??
....this thing called friendship is something that can happen
in the most random places..times & circumstances....its also can end in a
blink of the eye..friendships aren’t always easy....there are so many challenges
as we all navigate the craziness of life.... as our lives change its inevitable
that the people you surround yourself with..your tribe...your friends will
change as well... in my opinion....how your friendships evolve really says more
about your personal evolution than anything else....
.....do friendships have a shelf life......I don’t have
the answer to that question....one thing I do know is that people
change...circumstances change..friends behaviors..ideas...expectations may
differ from your own.....so maybe the real question would be...is the essence of
why you were friends in the first place more or less important than the
expiration date?
