My Friendship Journey

Lunch with Melissa, the beautiful soul.

On Friendship

Over the years Ive been reluctant to make new friends. I stuck with my oldest relationships even though they weren’t the healthiest for me. I read an article about how to know if your friendship is over and unfortunately, I checked all of the boxes that pointed toward “that relationship is over”. 

I started to evaluate who I was letting into my life. My biggest questions to myself were; Do I feel good when I am with them? Do I feel good when I leave them? When I hang up the phone with them, am I inspired? Unfortunately, the answer was coming up no way too often. Sometimes I would feel nothing, sometimes I would walk away feeling awful because I was judged, or criticized. I had gotten to the point where I no longer trusted the people who I was attracting. I was scared to make new friends. I know that sounds crazy, but its true. I was afraid of what I might attract based on my friendships at the time. I knew that I no longer wanted to be friends with “nice” people who are really mean. 

After my mom passed, I asked the Universe to naturally remove people. I didn't want any big fights or arguments, just a quiet exit.  I then asked for people who are in alignment with what I am looking for when it comes to relationships. Since I know that I need to be what I want to attract, I am always a work in progress.  I’m always reading and working on myself. When I asked, I received, because in one fell swoop things just started to change. Some people left, some people changed with me for the better, and new people showed up. I no longer feel afraid of what I might attract. I am open for business again. For the first time in my life, I feel like I am surrounded by people who really, truly care for me. I just want to love and be loved, and the Universe is granting my wish.

XOXO
