I feel like something my sister said the other day is very true however.
‘FAMILY IS FAMILY and that doesn’t go away’
I have friendships that are very much the same, very strong and very important to who i am.

I have felt lately that i’m ‘scrambling’ somehow to juggle all of my diverse friendships as though they have become responsibilities. My family was once a responsibility and i hated that time in my life. I can’t do that to myself again!

I need to be present to my own needs.
I need to keep calling people and sending post cards and keeping in touch with the people i truly care about when i FEEL like it. In my own time! The people in my life don’t love me because i am consistent but because of who i am and because of the time we’ve spent growing together. The freinds who will come and go are just that and i treasure them for as long as we are good for each other!

I’m grateful for every moment i’ve felt welcome and cared for and helpful and vulnerable and wise because of the people i’ve known.
I’m supremely excited to collect more moments like these!
