Thirty Things to Start Doing for Yourself #13 Start entering new relationships for the right reasons. – Enter new relationships with dependable, honest people who reflect the person you are and the person you want to be. Choose friends you are proud to know, people you admire, who show you love and respect – people who reciprocate your kindness and commitment. And pay attention to what people do, because a person’s actions are much more important than their words or how others represent them.

Our FRIEND circle changes as we MATURE because we start to separate what's REAL from what was just REAL FUN‼️This is why it's important to categorize them to avoid disappointment. GOING OUT & HANGING OUT don't make you REAL FRIENDS; but if you like partying with them then keep it strictly that. Growing up together and knowing each other THIRTY YEARS DOES NOT MAKE YOU FRIENDS; 🤧Being the best of coworkers don't make you friends. Even being SISTERS/BROTHERS & COUSINS don't make you FRIENDS! It's the level of YOUR LOYALTY, CONSISTENCY, VALUES, DEPENDABILITY & SUPPORT that makes y’all FRIENDS. Alot of people hang out good on a regular basis but can't count on each other WHEN YOU NEED THEM THE MOST‼️🙌🏾🤞🏾🙏🏾 So understand it’s nothing personal sometimes you outgrow your old interests in people. Dont let history dictate your growing process, you are not acting funny YOU HAVE ELEVATED to the reality and perspective of what a friend is…

Some of you might wonder why you see me share posts such as this, but not adding anything to it. I as well have asked myself the same question. I think some of it is because the inspirational photos I share are pretty self-explanatory. Some of the time it’s because I struggle to get the right explanation out. And lastly being an empath and caring so deeply for those whom I connect with and even those I haven’t yet met, truly takes a told on me. My heart hurts for anyone I connect with (personally or professionally) who has had a negative impact in pact in some way (whether it’s a demotion, getting fired, loss of a friend or family member, loss of a pet, and much more). I feel there is so much negativity around us in the world (on so many levels) I try to keep a positive outlook on everything in life. I truly try my best to find a way to spin a negative into a positive. That being said: My hopes and wishes are: To everyone I have met (or will come to meet in the future) I wish you all the sucess and happiness possible for you, your family & your friends. Remember to always share and spread kindness to those around you as well. You never know the internal struggles someone is going through and one small negative comment, remark, or situation can be their breaking point.

Best friends are invaluable treasures that enrich our lives in countless ways. They are the ones we share our joys and sorrows with, the ones who stand by us through thick and thin, and the ones who make life's journey truly meaningful. Let's explore three key points about best friends: 1. Unwavering Support: Best friends provide unwavering support, offering a shoulder to lean on during tough times and celebrating our successes with genuine happiness. They are our cheerleaders, always ready to lift our spirits and encourage us to be our best selves. 🤝💖 2. Trust and Loyalty: Trust and loyalty are fundamental pillars of a best friendship. We confide in our best friends without fear of judgment, knowing that they will keep our secrets safe and offer honest advice when needed. Their loyalty is unwavering, creating a bond built on mutual respect and understanding. 🔒👫 3. Fun and Laughter: Best friends bring laughter and joy into our lives. Whether it's sharing inside jokes, embarking on adventures together, or simply spending quality time, they make every moment memorable. Their presence adds a vibrant color to our days, making even the mundane activities enjoyable. 😄🎉 In conclusion, best friends are more than companions; they are the pillars of our support system, the keepers of our secrets, and the bringers of joy. Cherish and nurture these relationships, for they are among life's greatest treasures.

True friends are the chosen family we create throughout our lives. They're the ones who celebrate our successes, encourage us when we're down, and always have our backs. In a world that can often feel overwhelming and isolating, true friends are a constant source of support, joy, and laughter. They remind us who we are at our core and motivate us to be our best selves. Here are just a few reasons why life is better with true friends: They make you feel loved and accepted: True friends accept you for who you are, flaws and all. They make you feel like you belong and that you're never alone.

Empathy goes a long way.... Last year, a new AE reached out to me, unaware I was already deep in discussions with another AE from their company. I let them know and noticed their genuine apology. Mistakes happen, and I chose to respond with kindness and wish them the best. Fast-forward 6 months, and the same AE called me again, knowing that enough time had passed I was again open to a conversation. They were clearly down from tough calls, and that call fired both of us up. It made me realize how a bit of kindness can completely change someone’s day. Let’s remember: everyone’s doing their best, and a little empathy goes a long way. Treat others with respect, be gracious, and remember we all need a helping hand sometimes. Let’s be the supportive people we had when we started out. Remember, we don't know what's happening in other people's lives and the impact we can make.

A tacit goodbye. Bye. Wondering, the very first word to be a “bye.” How? Because this piece of writing delves into what transpires after that unexpected farewell—the aftermath for the one left waiting. I did manage to utter a “bye,” but there are those encounters that conclude without it, fading into the hope that someday we’ll reconnect. Yet, that “someday” remains suspended in our minds, an elusive illusion.You care deeply for that person, yearning to witness their happiness, regardless of the cost. Even if it means parting ways, you accept it. Those final goodbyes resonate differently when vulnerability surfaces—you’re stripped down to your authentic self. You meticulously planned countless meetings, yet none materialized.Now, uncertainty looms. Is it truly a goodbye, or should you hold on a little longer? The other person promised to return, but the clock ticks, and their presence remains elusive. Should you prepare questions for the next conversation? Or perhaps plan a trip to create new memories together? Or maybe just sit, reminiscing about the past? The most agonising part is knowing that this person, this good soul, can never be wrong—at least not to you. Yet, your mind whispers dissent, urging you to resist acceptance. You still recall the first encounter—was it an event, a dance party, school, or college? Listen, my dear, here’s the truth: You can be furious with someone and still ache for their presence. Miss them profoundly! And in the end, remember this—the person wasn’t cruel to you. You cared, loved, and both invested effort. Those brief “wyd” and “how are you” texts, though fleeting, held immense significance even though it was 10 minutes of chit chat but at least it made you feel contented and that’s what matters. And so here I give my claim not help you with those elusive thoughts or the agonising part but they will return soon. In a month maybe. Just hold on for a little more time. Just hold till you birthday comes. Love transcends all and I trust you. #articles #closure #reality #blogging #love #goodbyes #trusttheprocess

Have you ever found yourself scrolling through your contact list, thinking or hesitating to hit the delete or block button? Well, you should! Respect and trust are a two-way street and if they're not bilateral, it might be time for a cleanup. Respect and trust are like currency; they should be earned. Yet, the moment disrespect or betrayal enters the game, it's crucial to cut those ties. I believe in giving respect and trust generously, but it's intriguing to see how much or less comes back my way. It's not as simple as it sounds! Have you ever respected someone to realize later it wasn't mutual? Or trusted someone who proved untrustworthy? If so, it's the perfect time to delink these connections. Stand by your values because you deserve people who reciprocate your respect and trust. Cleaning up your contact list can be liberating. Throw out those who don't align with your principles, and continue with those who resonate with you. Surround yourself with those who share the same values. And take a moment to appreciate and thank those who reciprocate your values. Through multiple cleanups, I've realized I've gained genuine friends who stand by me through thick and thin. Some friendships span a lifetime, while others are newly forged, but all are cherished! Real friends are the ones you trust and respect mutually, sharing both joy and sorrow. They're the ones who sense when you're not okay and reach out. I'm grateful for these friends who have become a vital part of my life. So my dear friends: thank you for being in my life!!! To those I've let go, I wish you all the best for sure. Value your close friends as they are treasures and just bid farewell to those who don't contribute positively to your life. Life is too short to keep anything less than genuine friends around you. Embrace life, pursue your passions, do what you like and like what you do ! And share great moments with your real friends. #RealFriends #Respect #Trust #Honesty
