Friendship  Relations

Complexity is the name of the game when it comes to friendship relations, you ‘ll find your patience , your loyalty and tolerance  being tested time and time again, up until you bear your soul open to  reality , shake away the shallowness , expectancy  to truly enjoy the bliss that comes with creating a friendship and maintaining one . We all were raise differently , come from families that vary i.e from money ,values, education,  to being raised by single  parents and yet fight to be appreciated , not to be stigmatised by our back rounds , somehow all those factors come into play when we start building friendships ,be it as young adults or just plain adults . It’s called friendship relations, takes time to make it solid yet can be destroyed within seconds, as bad decisions play a deceiving game with good decisions, selfishness overrides consideration and thoughtfulness, these are friendship relations .

They say blood is thicker than water, at this point in my life I wouldn’t agree with that statement even if someone pointed a gun in my head, as I have been surrounded by beautiful  spirits in my lifetime ,some still with me and some no longer present , but their role will always  influence me positively  as that is how I choose to remember them . These are friendship relations, they bring about our insecurities , progress , change , disappointments all bottled up with a bit of jealousy in it, that sometimes disguises itself and comes out in the words we utter in anger . Loving someone is a risk that you have to take without  fear but believe with trust that what you offer to your friend is enough to make the friendship grow and be strong , with all the challenges that the spirit guides might throw  at you , these are friend ship relations.

It’s the most priceless motion to feel when you find yourself being close to a person that you think about  as soon as you see something  crazy  or going through a life changing experience , that one person who appreciates  your awkwardness ,weirdness  and you even call each other crazy names without anybody taking offence, that one person who is human enough to make mistakes and apologise openly , that one person who will tell you where to get off when you start acting all arrogant and big headed, that one person who will be there and not judge you when you fail instead take you out for a movie just to help you shake off the bad mood, that one person who will love you as you are and embrace you even when they feel a bit jealous , these are friendship relations , they look attractive from a distance but hard to maintain .

I have learned that as much as its important to spend time on your own its good for the soul to have good friends and be around folks who will stop everything  to just be there for you .  These are friendship relations , they are like seasons yet we sometimes prefer them to stay  neutral which is impossible when you are dealing with human motion. New beginnings come  with a lot of change and growth , meaning when the friends you grew up with starting saying “you have changed “ in most cases its them who have changed and cannot handle the progress in your life , these friendship relations are diverse in every way imaginable and to narrow them down will be delusional thinking on  my part .

I cannot erase the memories I have shared with folks I knew as a kid , as a teenager and as an adult , as the love there is too strong to be shattered by any bad feelings  about things  we cannot even change , point is  people grow up , some focus on making money , being selfish and spending life as a spinster, some start families and build their nests so big that it warms their heart with love , some travel and explore other cultures because they feel lost in their country of birth and are constantly yearning for meaning in life  and then you have those that just want to belong . These are friendship relations , they truly are a blessing and a learning path that never ends .
