30 years
That's how long we've been friends.
One thing people don’t talk about enough is the beauty of friendship.
To have friendships that have lasted through different seasons of life is such a blessing.
When we’re younger, many of our friendships are built on proximity. We become friends with people we go to church with, go to school with, live near, or happen to spend a lot of time around.
But as we grow older, friendship begins to look different.
People get married. They move away. They build careers. They raise families. Life changes.
And I’ve realized that at this stage of life, friendship is less about proximity and more about intentionality.
Just because a friendship doesn’t look the way it did 10, 15, or 20 years ago doesn’t mean it isn’t still meaningful. In fact, something even more beautiful can grow when both people choose to be intentional.
So instead of focusing on the friendships that didn’t survive, I’m choosing to appreciate the ones that have. I’m choosing to be intentional about loving, supporting, celebrating, and showing up for the people in my life in new ways for this new season.
Here’s to friendship, old, new, and future.
May we all experience the wealth that comes from genuine friendship and sisterhood. 🤍
