Some Friends Are Just Not Meant to Stay In Your Life

“There is nothing permanent except change.” -Heraclitus.

Each year, new people will enter your life. Some will stay, and others will leave in sudden or shocking ways.

The people who you form a bond with will turn into friendships. But the majority of these friendships will fizzle out.

The truth is that many of our friendships dance around one single fact:

Most of them are circumstantial.

You work or live close by, so meeting up is easy and convenient.

Or:

You like the same activities. For example, if you love drinking, you will attract party people. If you love sports, then you will hang out with sportspeople.

Or:

You hang out with certain people out of necessity to not feel alone.

We all know that long-term friendships are deeply enriching.

But we don’t give enough credit to short-term friendships. There is profound wisdom in gone friends.

Short-term friendships teach you to appreciate the present moment

You pass by a café where you and your friend used to hang out. Suddenly you feel nostalgia taking over your whole body.

You realize those days drinking coffee together are never coming back and that life is full of underrated and precious moments like that one.

Short -term friendships add flavors to your identity for a while

You got inspired by how your friends dealt with their problems or how they were full of playfulness and how they didn't get life so serious.

Maybe the love they gave you made you feel more secure in yourself or the perspective they had about life opened yourself to new paradigma shifts.

All those aspects adds to our identity without even realizing it.

Short -term friendships help you stretch your resilience muscle.

Because short-term friendships always end, they help you deal with loss and grieving.

Every time we deal with a loss, we lose a part of ourselves and we need to prove us that we can handle problems confidently and that our faith is more significant than any adversity.

Life is always kicking our asses, showing us nothing is permanent and guaranteed in life.

So next time you are having a fantastic time with a friend, remember to feel grateful for that present moment because there might not be so many of them in the future.
