It’s a slippery slope imagining what you “deserve” – but there’s a point in life where you do realize what you need and that should be completely congruent with what you actually do expect to get out of the ones you call “friend.“
A few of those things may include loyalty, consideration, kindness…if you’re lucky add generosity of time and resources.
So what happens in our relationships when our basic needs of loyalty and consideration are forgotten, disregarded, or considered “unwarranted” by the ones we most expect them to be seen from?
They suffer. They change. They degrade and downward spiral. They need conversation and healing and time does not fix that shit. Hard conversations, vulnerability, and the talent to see a concept just beyond your peripheral vision does.
Taking the time to took left and right into your blind spaces of the friendships you cherish is an outstanding quality in a human. May we all have the energy to do so and may we all be afforded the time….and when we are afforded those words may we respond with truth and transparency.
