Outgrowing Friendships
Outgrowing a friendship cannot take place if that friendship is true. Friendship between two people in the purest and truest sense can only exist when there is mutual love and respect between the two. These friendships are rare but do exist and exist with unconditional love. There are many people and different circumstances in which friendships are formed. Some are out of a need in which we attract a certain person to fill tha need, some are defined by mutual interests or causes and some are work related. Not all of these connections will last and therefore seasonal relationships - there for a period of time until they have fulfilled their purpose. The outgrowing of these friendships are imminent and usually end with some sorrow and grief but not the devastating shock that comes with an end to a true friendship.In a relationship where one friend has the unconditional love and non judgemental respect for the other friend and it is not reciprocated then the outgrowing of that particular friendship can be extremely harsh where the one party can leave without remorse leaving the other shattered. Finding a friend in which you can have a healthy, respectful, non-judgemental and loving relationship where both of you show that unconditional love to each other is the key to remaining life long friends not having to experience the harsh realities of outgrowing your friendship.
