💌 Connection #25: When Friendship Changes

1 idea, 1 practice, 1 question

Hi friend,

Here’s 1 idea, 1 practice, and 1 question to create more expansive connections.

One idea to consider

Friendships aren’t failing when they shift. They’re evolving. Just because you don’t talk every day like you used to doesn’t mean the connection is gone. Life gets louder, seasons change, and priorities shift. The people who matter aren’t always the ones you see most often — they’re the ones you can come back to, again and again, like a familiar song that still feels like home.

One practice to try on

Instead of judging a friendship by how frequent it is…notice how safe it feels.

Ask yourself:

• Do I feel like I can be fully myself?

• Can we pick up where we left off?

• Do we both make space, even if it’s not always at the same time?

Try sending a message to a friend you haven’t talked to in a while and say this:
No pressure to reply fast. I just wanted you to know I’ve been thinking about you.

One question to ask

“What does friendship look like in this season of your life — and what do you want it to feel like?”
