We all have friends growing up as children, but what changes as we become adults? Â Does it seem like you have less REAL friendships or is it that we become more selective for whom we allow in our lives?
Over the next few weeks or maybe even months, I want to share some of my personal stories about friendships. Â Some may make you laugh and may make you cry. Â One thing for certain, one will make you analyze your relationships with others in your life.
Before we begin this series, I’m going to ask each of you reading this to give a call, text, email, etc. to that one friend that’s important to you and let them know how much you appreciate them.

Many times we take our friends for granted without even realizing we are doing so. Â Everyone loves to be recognized from time to time. Â Be sure to let that friend know you appreciate them for being them.

I have just realized that life happens kids happens events happen and sometimes I get side tracked but doesn’t mean I don’t love them. Friends are important but I’m very selective bc I’m a private person. So I don’t have as many as I did when I was in my younger days.
Friendships as adults allow us to be more selective, otherwise we waste our own time and energy where we shouldn’t.
Friendships are OH SO IMPORTANT. I connected with a few of mine today to send out the love. Thanks for the reminder.
Friends sure are important. Thanks for stopping by.
I agree that as we get older, more discerning and know our priorities our circle of friends tightens. That is true for me. Looking forward to the series.
My friends are the best! Seriously. I can ALWAYS rely on them if I need some support/advice! 🙂
Have a make-people-feel-important attitude, especially your friends. Thanks for sharing
Yes! Thanks for stopping by.
Indeed Friends are easily made when we are young because we dont have all the negative judgmental attitude at that time. As we grow we start to listen to our parents, peers and their parents seeds, communities, elders, teachers etc,…we dont really have our own character by the time we are 18 we have a mish-mash of ideas planted by those we are entrusted with to mentor and guide us to grow into responsible adults…So we are less open to spontaneous friendships…a sad thing really! Let me call my friends! Thanks Sybil for the reminder!
Friends are important. Good, healthy friendships that is. Be sure to reach out to friends to let them know you’re thinking of them.
