Absolutely

When you’re young, you think if you go a day without talking to someone, something must be wrong. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized we can go a week without talking, knowing we both have lives, responsibilities, families, and a million things going on. And guess what? We don’t care about each other any less. We just pick right back up where we left off.

When your young you want easy friendship… feel good… have fun all the time… Now I just really appreciate a friend who doesn’t sugarcoat things. Someone who will tell me the truth, even when it’s not what I want to hear.

Someone who, when they see me hurting, will pray for me instead of gossip about me.

Someone we don’t have to always go out to have a good time but who knows they can show up at my house whenever they want…My fridge will be stocked, my pantry will be full, but they’ll probably have to help themselves because I’m a terrible host and we can just be us. 😂

I appreciate someone who understands that I don’t keep secrets from my husband. My marriage is a partnership, and I’m not going to create a separate world of secrets outside of it.

Someone who understands that my kids come first. Sometimes plans change, sometimes life gets chaotic, and sometimes I just don’t have the energy to be social.

I’ve learned that good friendship isn’t about constant communication, keeping score, or demanding someone’s attention.

It’s about being able to be yourself, having mutual respect, celebrating each other’s wins, praying through each other’s struggles, and knowing that no matter how much time passes, the friendship is still there.
