I literally just texted a relatively new friend, with this observation - my circle is changing and includes some new folks---for a time such as this. And I am thankful for my legacy friends and the new ones on the come up. I accept that my friendships will not always carry the same energy, weight, or importance over the duration of a friendship. I'm falling back. By releasing some of these (stale) pre-existing friendships, I have made room for new friendships. Ones that will buoy me through the current season of life.

It was a tough realization. A necessary realization. And I am thankful for it.

I'm glad I'm not the only one standing in the garden of my friendships, pruning shears in hand. Sending my love to anyone else experiencing this right now. It's not easy, but deeply trusting the prune is worth the space it creates for the bloom. x
