An Article about the Friendships We Distance Ourselves from throughout Our Lives

Each of us has a moment when we understand that not all people in our lives will be in it forever. The friends you made in your youth don't always stay close to old age, and that's pretty normal.

There are friends that you gradually drift away from and there are those that you have intentionally left in the past. Remember, losing friends is not necessarily bad and can only be a step forward.

Sometimes such a separation is personal, and sometimes not. Maybe you moved away from the one you loved. Each has its path, so we can grow up together or take different paths. Sometimes close people stay in your life because they have chosen the path of development.

Otherwise, you are the one who will start moving away from them, since your opinions and values ​​have ceased to coincide. People do not stop growing, learning, and developing. It's natural that as you get older, your priorities change, and those priorities don't always meet your friends' priorities.

Some people come into your life for some reason and a while. You learn what you need to learn from them, from life, from circumstances, and then you start moving on. These people may meet you again in the future, but now the wind is blowing your veils in completely different directions.

Maybe it was an argument. Your friends may have hurt you by betraying your trust and love. Usually, the pain of betrayal forces people to end their relationships. This pain, like the pain of losing a friend, is very real.

It is important to remember that forgiveness is the key to healing, which, however, does not always involve the need to forgive a person. When I hear the phrase "forgive and forget," I perceive it as "forgive and ignore." It is about ignoring the person who betrayed you because with your forgiveness you will only show that his actions did not hurt you. Don't neglect forgiveness.

The time will come when you will have to move away from people who have never been responsible for the suffering you have suffered. They will not ask for forgiveness, because it is extremely difficult to correct your mistake. No, instead they will take advantage of your kindness and forgiveness, moving away from the problem itself.

Relationships and friendships require constant effort, and some people simply do not understand this. Here's the hard truth: if someone decides to let things go by themselves, then you're not as as important to him as he is to you.

You have enough strength to move forward clearly with a positive mood, choosing people who choose you too. Therefore, choose those people with whom you can establish a balanced relationship, in which the parties offer and receive equally. Choose honest people who work for your friends and take care of you. Fight for faithful people who are always ready to support you and respond to your love for each other. Just choose them and never take your friends for granted.

Say thank you to all the friends you lose along the way, accidentally or intentionally. Thank them for the life lessons and memories that have allowed you to move forward in the right direction. For all the suffering you have suffered because the healing of your heart has made you stronger and taught you to understand human nature.

Thank them for the opportunity to meet and share their life, let it end so sad. Thank them for showing their true selves and for ending your relationship. Wish them good luck on their journey and continue yours without hiding any insults from anyone. And don't forget that even though you had to forgive them, you still haven't forgotten the lessons learned.

Thank them for all the good and the bad, then say goodbye!
