I just recently realized that a friendship I’ve had for almost 13 years is no longer serving me, and hasn’t for a while. I have evolved, and I am also the only one showing up and putting effort into the relationship. This was a very affirming essay for me at this time, thank you for sharing!

Thank you for sharing this. Recognizing that shift in a long-standing friendship is not easy, but it shows growth and self-awareness. I’m glad the post met you at the right moment. You deserve relationships that are mutual, life-giving, and aligned with who you are becoming. Keep honoring that growth.
