Friendships and relationships are very interesting to me, and me in them.

I used to put stock in friendships and work really hard to be a good friend, and even take up the slack of the other, and try harder when things became shaky.

Now I just accept them.

When the person oversteps or steps upon me without a thought of my feelings, I accept.

I accept who they are, and I accept myself.

I accept my feelings.

My feelings that want to turn away, to put space between us, to let the friendship fade.

I honor its death or return to social pleasantries.

The reason we came together is over.

The lesson is learned, a part of me was returned.

Most relationships have given back to me a stronger self then I was before I entered.

In the past, I would spend time and effort to drag an ended relationship along, disrespecting its demise.

It is my belief, that if we are to remain together, there is nothing we can do to tear us apart; we will be friends for a lifetime, if that is meant to be.

And if we are not, there is nothing we can do to keep us connected.

Once the reason is fulfilled, our interests fade, our common ground slips away, and we move on.

It almost seems that there are people who serve the same purpose for multitudes of folks, that they serve the soul’s lesson in many.

They give the same part of us back to ourselves, they are angels among us who never change, for we need their exact nature to find our own.

Their strength is of an unchanging quality that we recognize and honor.

This wall of unchangeable energy or source of power isn’t within our power to transform; yet we are transformed and changed in its presence.

Friendships to me are unknown, until they are known.
The length of time we spend together I can’t know.

Is it a season, a reason or a lifetime?

Only my soul knows.

I listen and move accordingly.
