Friendships:
Last week all of my girlfriends and I went out to dinner. I was a little early and as I sat waiting for my friends I started thinking about friendships. I have a close circle of girlfriends that I am very close to. Every month we get together for dinner. It is great to catch up and exchange boyfriend/ husband stories as well as update each other on our lives. As I sat waiting; I thought to myself why do we grow out of certain friendships. Why is it some people remain our friends yet others just disappear? I like to think as we grow and mature we assimilate and “hang out” with people that share our interest, views and social economic status. Now that last one can be considered my opinion but I think if you hang around a group of people that always take vacations and you can’t afford those vacation after some time you will grow apart. Now many people can say money has nothing to do with it and if you dedicate time to the friendship it will flourish. So is it that we are meant to evolve as we mature. Could it be some friendships evolve because they are meant to and others just fade away. I do believe all friendships serve a purpose and all those friends we have had in the past have taught us something and have helped us become who we are today.I believe our friends are a reflection of who we are at a certain point in time. What do you think?
