Friendships

Happy Tuesday mommas! I hope that you are all having a great start to your week!

Friendship is a topic that I have had on my mind for a few weeks now. There have been some events transpire in the past few weeks that have caused me to evaluate the friendships in my life. I’ve got a friend that went above and beyond to help make me feel special for getting my degree. This girl is the freaking bomb. She seems to always know when I need some extra love, without me saying anything. She listens to my problems and celebrates my victories. I know that I can depend on her and her family for anything. She’s the kind of friend that came into our lives unexpectedly and now her and her family will be there for the rest of our lives. I have another friend that’s been through ALL my struggles. She’s lived through them with me, and has always had my back. She’s the kind of friend that will tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to. She’s strong and fierce, and tackles anything life throws at her. These and many more, are women that I’m proud to know and raise my daughter around. These women go above and beyond for their friends and never expect anything in return. They are of service to their communities and are raising their children to be strong, independent thinkers. These are my people.

Losing a friendship can be hard. We aren’t in control of other people’s actions or reactions. All we can control is the way that we react. I want to make something very clear here… you don’t owe anyone an explanation about your decisions. When you make the decision to end a friendship, you are doing what is best for YOU!! In that moment, that is all that matters. Sometimes we have to step away from things that don’t bring us joy, or bring negative energy to us. Life is already full of hardships and struggles, don’t let those feelings come from other people. Eleanor Roosevelt said, “Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you’ll be criticized anyway.” Make the decisions that are right for you, you don’t need to explain your feelings.

As always, if you need an ear I am here!

Stay strong mommas!
