issues and disease more quickly.
Just like your hair, for it to grow and be healthy, it has to be nourished, and this applies to our relationships too. For friendships to grow, they need nourishment. Trust and honesty strengthen these connections, along with loyalty, sincerity, genuineness, acceptance, and support. When these nourishing qualities are practiced over - time - one of the most critical factors, you will find a true friendship has formed. And with all of our current friends, we should all endeavor to develop these qualities, as a practice for true friends and important relations, we will have in the years to come.
Along with nourishing friendships, you will have poisonous one and friendships that are toxic. Toxic to your mental health and, in some cases, even your physical health. If we are honest, we all have some qualities that may intoxicate our friendships. In my opinion, these issues can be surmounted by addressing them, using communication. However, naturally, as we come of age, and we gain emotional growth, we can successfully respect, understand, and value each and every one of us. With this, we will be able to quickly develop healthy relations between one another.
Beginning friendships and growing them also comes ending them too. As mentioned before, we change and as a result of this change, our friendship circles can also alter. This is natural because as humans, we grow - mentally, physically and emotionally. Over time, we start to become wiser, more skilled in establishing wholesome relationships and we also develop the ability to identify destructive relationships too. You may lose a friend because of several reasons. Maybe you have had a disagreement. Perhaps there is no room for reconciliation, or perhaps you have outgrown someone and the connection has just faded away. Perhaps you have lost a friend to the cold hands of death. Whatever it is, remember God has put these people in your life for a reason. Bad friendships provide us with useful lessons to be learned while good friendships provide us with high expectations.
And like my parents repeatedly tell me, friends come and friends go. We must accept, like all the various bubble tea combinations, that as soon as it is made, it has an expiry date. Our friendships are the same. Our friendships can be as short as a few days or weeks, or as long as we see heaven, it is important to overcome our differences. We must also show appreciation to each other and that we make the most of the time that we have together. LO
