Friends' growth and changes

in #hive-10928811 days ago

Hello Everyone

Welcome to my blog.

There are certain friends we make at each level of our lives that is just for that stage.

Because when we meet them again after some years in another setting and in a different stage in life, there are lots of seen changes.

These changes are normal.
It is not something you shouldn't panic about.
It is not something you should struggle to get used to.

Though your expectations will be high and you would want to get that same treatment you received from the person years back.

When you don't get those treatments, please don't fight for it.

Instead, try to know a few facts about the person's new way of life.

Yes, lovely memories shared should be appreciated and cherished.

You can recall these memories you shared together then, but when the person is not reciprocating.
Please don't stress it.

Instead, build new cool memories and add it to the old memories.

Don't let that space you left vacant for years be occupied with annoying each other and making each other feel less relevant.



Friends we met during our secondary (high) school days, and we later meet them again in life, maybe when you just graduated from university won't exhibit the same character as before.

Because the person has gone through lots of processes in life.
The person has met lots of new people in his/her life.
The person has experienced another wide range of life through adulthood experiences.
So, you don't expect the person to be the same.

Though some features would be seen but kill those expectations of yours.

Expectations can cause blames and disappointments, so it's best you erase it and embrace the new experience.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't trust the person to an extent.

Yes, don't totally trust the person as well.



Lawrence and Stephen were best friends in secondary school.

They met each other later after some years, just after graduating from university.

They exchanged pleasantries and planned to meet up and hang out.

Stephen came with her friends to hang out with Lawrence because they also found out he was in town.

The behaviour Stephen exhibited disappointed Lawrence.

It did not only end there, Stephen got Lawrence into trouble because he trusted him.



I hope you enjoyed your read and was able to understand more through my little story.

Thank you very much for stopping by my blog 🥰

Do enjoy the rest of your day.

Absolutely right. Change is constant and i will not be happy to meet an old friend the same way i left him/her. Because change is constant, that is why i won't expect my old friend to be the same as i left him.


But it's worth noting that some personalities are inherent and cannot be changed. Even though my old friend changed, there are some personalities I still expect him to exhibit for him to remain in my friends cycle otherwise it might lead to farewell.

Absolutely 💯
Nice input dear.

That's true 💯
Changes occur in every phase of life.

People's life changes when people start their career, start a family, and sometimes just develop different hobbies and tastes. It's ok. Like you said changes are normal and shouldn't cause us stress. Planet Earth is my favorite planet because it's full of amazing people; we just have to be open to meeting them and creating new amazing memories with them :)

Exactly 💯
Well said😊

Thank you very much 😊
