Framily
I'm very protective of my space, time, and energy, and I find that my tolerance for keeping up with appearance has diminished over the years. Likewise, my tolerance for association based on time and not a true connection is also decreasing.
A few people have come into my life unexpectedly over the last three months. I had not spoken to one of them in over 15 years, and we just so happen to reconnect. It's crazy how the universe works. Giving us precisely what we need when we need it. These refreshing and authentic people have opened my eyes to what I think I've been needing.
There's no agenda, no expectations, nor labels... just pure love and thankfulness to God for what he has created in each of us to be great.
As I live in the present, each day, I can see how life truly is short, and my trust and faith in God must be supreme over all things and all people.
I'm getting closer to me, and as much as it hurts some. I am relieved to make decisions for myself without considering someone else's needs or wants; cause I have done that for far too long, I made a career of it!
It's stimulating to be encouraged by genuine people who have turned into friends and are now family. A family that I speak to nearly every day who speak positivity, love, and hope into my life, allowing me to learn to let my old life be old so I can embrace the new and run with it.
I'm undoubtedly observing that new framily allows me to live into myself without judgment of my past. It's like a fresh start, but it's not just me. I've witnessed this same situation with a few people I know. The presence of "new" people/friends can bring something out of you that you never knew you needed. It reminds me of this quote:
"Each new friendship can make you a new person because it opens up new doors inside of you." – Kate DiCamillo
Regardless of how long these friendships last, I am grateful for these three months because they have changed my perspective on what it means to truly connect with people of likeminds and develop synergy for the better.
Mad love to the framily (friends who are more like family). #framily #friends #homies #thecrew #family #love
