Whether dealing with friendships, a romantic relationship or your family one thing is certain, relationships change. Sometimes they change for the better. You find a renewed sense of love within the relationship and that love strengthens it. You may find support from someone when you lease expect it and you may be pleasantly surprised with how much others care when you thought you were alone. I have seen relationships in my own life grow and change for the better. I’m closer to some people than I’ve ever been, have found myself giving to people who I never thought needed me and have loved with a new passion that was once lost. To give and receive in your relationships allows for them to flourish and grow.
Other times your relationships turn for the worst. Maybe communication breaks down, you don’t feel heard or understood, or you don’t have the same expectations as the other person. Maybe pain within the relationship was far too much to bear. Sometimes, one person just takes from the other, which is draining. Other times, both parties just come to an impasse and aren’t sure how to move forward so it just stops altogether.
A relationship you start is never going to be the same throughout the course of it. You have to be willing to let it change for better or for worse because we cannot control how the relationship evolves, only our reaction to what happens within it. We all change and will continue to through our lives. Be sure you keep those positive relationships in your life and terminate those that are no longer good for you.
