So I really don’t do casual friendship for the most part. You’re either my friend or you’re not.

You could be a. Acquaintance but that may just be a social connection. I have a lot of those for sure.

But to be a FRIEND, that’s sort of being elevated to a level of importance in my life. It means I will connect with you, as my empathetic mind works.

Friendships are relationships. Like it or not they are, and so much more. They are the place where we store secrets and they are the place where we laugh. It is the place where we smile and the place where we cry. 

Friendships are the real connections that mean we help each other for no other reason than because we are friends. 

Some friends don’t connect for a long time, but when they do, it was like they never skipped a beat. 

Some friends check in regularly because they know they need that heart beat. 

Friendships do change as we grow older, and time marches on. 

We are busy with life and things that make it seem so hard. 

But I am sure with the few friends I have, they are my diamonds in the rough, the realist friends that help me out when things are really tough. 

Sending so much love to my friends. ?
