Friendship part 3

Hi coaches,

I’ve done a complete u-turn on this. In doing an evaluation for 2024 I came across some notes I’d made about bringing learnings from a place and time in my life that was significant to me into my present. I’d written about longevity of friendships not being an indicator of quality, and how grateful I was for some friendships I’d made while living in community with other volunteers on a farm for just a few weeks, which were incredibly meaningful at the time but I no longer have contact with them at all.
I realised that I am grateful for my friend and the times we have shared when we supported each other through work challenges and I can accept that the dynamics of our friendship have changed. The worst case scenario is that she has decided to ghost me, but I cannot know whether that is true or not. I have decided that now is the time to repriotise the friendship. We haven’t fallen out, at least not on my side, but by deciding to let go of the importance of longevity of this friendship I can enable myself to be open to growing friendships with others and creating new opportunities for connection with others and myself.

 

 

Answer:

What I see you saying is that you’ve chosen to create *insert emotion word that resonates with you here* for yourself. Such a win. Notice how you’re caring for your own heart. Notice how you’ve allowed many emotions through this process. Be open to allowing more. Remember that this U turn didn’t just happen. You created it. What other lessons does your inner wisdom want to to give you in this season of adjusting relationships?
