I woke up in the early hours of the morning thinking of treasured friendships that I am missing deeply. People I truly adore, but rarely or never talk to any more. I recently found this message and have no idea who originally wrote it, but it describes so much of how I feel about some of those relationships…
“the worst way for friendships to end is for literally nothing to go wrong, you just stop talking. they stop messaging you to see how you’re doing and you get sick of being the first one to initiate conversation so you just let the friendship go and wonder how that person is doing and never hear from them again”
I believe there is a season for everything in our lives. And some of them are cyclical. A season for struggle, a season for joy. And a season for each relationship in our lives. Some of them last for many years. And others only for the time that we genuinely needed each other. Just like the time each year when the leaves fall from the trees and it turns cold heading toward winter, there is nothing you can do to stop the change of seasons. You simply have to learn to squeeze every ounce of goodness out of each one while it is here.
