Life unfolds through a myriad of lessons and trials, with people often serving as enigmatic guides along the way. Particularly, close friends can play a pivotal role in our journey, offering support and companionship as we navigate the twists and turns of existence. However, there are times when the once-strong bond begins to fray, and the connection between friends gradually weakens, seemingly unnoticed.
In such instances, it's as if one friend becomes entranced by a divergent path, one that no longer intertwines with yours. The bond that once felt unbreakable begins to stretch and thin, leaving behind a sense of disconnection and perplexity. It's a disheartening realization when a cherished friend drifts away, seemingly pulled by forces beyond our comprehension.
A bond you almost thought was unbreakable. There was so many likeable traits and enjoyable moment, you almost thought the friendship would last.
Lets take a step back, and view it in a spiritual way.
View friendships as connections between individuals brought together by shared interests. However, this initial connection serves as a gateway for deeper growth to unfold. Within each friendship lies a reciprocal exchange, where both parties contribute something valuable to the other's journey. Through mutual encouragement, individuals foster spiritual development, each step guiding them toward higher levels of awareness.
Despite the inevitable challenges and occasional setbacks, every interaction propels both friends towards personal maturity. Initial confusion and pain may arise when friendships encounter turbulence, leading to introspection and self-doubt. Yet, it's essential to recognize that these moments are integral to the growth process, prompting individuals to reflect on their roles within the relationship and paving the way for greater understanding and resilience.
Let me give a perspective of a real life personal event:
During the time I was 17 years old, I had a friend that was one grade above me. Making me a Junior, and her my Senior. We got along very well, and did many things together. At one point during our friendship, I asked if her job would hire me. She claimed that her position as veterinarian assistant was difficult and I couldn't handle it. Judging. Based on the knowledge of me never working before, and her existing work position was due to her mother's connections. I responded. "You are not giving me a chance? How would you know what I am capable of, if I am not given the opportunity." Her response, "I am not risking my position if I refer you and you fail, that will make me look bad."
Of course, I took that personal being that she was suppose to be my bestfriend. Later, around the end of my junior term, I ended up obtaining a position at a animal hospital. I told her, but she seemed indifferent and had already began distancing.
After school ended. She left for college and never looked back.
I have tried contacting her but she didn't care anymore. It was like going against a wave or hitting a wall.
What did I learn?
It's a common reflex to shoulder the blame when a friendship fades. We're wired to seek fault, yet it's crucial to understand that shifting interests can naturally lead to diverging paths. She isn't obligated to maintain our connection if her journey veers elsewhere. It's not about fault; it's about evolution.
During our time together, she unwittingly nudged me beyond my boundaries, catalyzing growth I didn't anticipate. I ventured into uncharted territory to prove her wrong, but in the process, I discovered layers of strength within myself. Her influence propelled me to surmount challenges with newfound courage, sculpting me into a better version of myself.
Though our paths have diverged, the memories we shared in our high school years remain precious. I'll forever cherish the laughter, the trials, and the growth we experienced together. In gratitude, I acknowledge her role in shaping the person I am today.
Can you Spot your Spiritual maturity?
When friendships falter, it's essential to take a step back and examine the underlying reasons for the fallout. Life is a journey of growth, and our responsibility is to evolve into the best versions of ourselves. We form bonds with friends and family to aid us in this journey, akin to the way spirit guides and spirit animals offer guidance along our spiritual path.
Isn't this situation similar to Spirit Guides
Just as we have a primary spirit guide, there are others who appear at specific junctures in our lives to provide assistance tailored to those moments. They serve as specialists, offering their unique expertise or support during pivotal milestones or events. These individuals may not stay for the entirety of our journey, but their presence is crucial in helping us navigate the challenges and lessons that shape our growth.
My Advise
All relationship you form in this life has a perplex agenda. Even if they are failed marriages, bullies, bestfriends, family, strangers, all have a role. To build who you are! Most of the building block is to stir your emotions to bring forth a crucial actin within yourself. A catalyst to change you to the better version of yourself.
The better version of yourself is to awaken into a higher vibration and acquiring knowledge of who you really are. Allowing the emotions to serve as a opening to the possibility of your personal growth. But the choices we make can lift us, our stagnant us. The choices must come from your gut feeling. Gut feeling is your soul communicating with you, in other word intuition.
I encourage you to reflect on all you relationships that produce a lot of emotions. Either anger, betrayed, love, hurt, and so forth. See without your feeling fogging your mind, and ask why did that transpired? What lesson did I have to learn?
The situation with my high school friend was not known until years later.
Why should you do it?
This will allow peace to settle within you, and great awareness. Pain will not control you anymore.
