My Friendship Story
As I stated before I didn't have healthy connections growing up, and this caused me to unhealthily attach to people. I put to much pressure on others. I put pressure on myself. I struggled with trying to save my friends from their mistakes versus allowing Him to do His work. When I wasn't unhealthily attaching myself, I was choosing friends that simply weren't good for me. I allowed their perspectives to seep into my viewpoint. I began to question myself more often instead of embracing my life. It was a rough time. As I have continued to grow with help, I have let go of unhealthy relationships. I have learned to trust my instincts, and it has given me the freedom to be myself and allow others to be themselves. This change has allowed space in my life to be a friend no matter how long to whoever who needs a friend at that moment. It has also helped me to be a better teacher about friendship to my daughters.
