Adulthood brings a different perspective on friendships, one that’s rooted in depth and sincerity. It’s a phase where you prioritise quality over quantity. You begin to value those who understand the ebb and flow of life, who don’t demand constant attention but are always there when it matters. These are the friendships that don’t weigh you down with expectations but offer comfort, even in silence.
In adulthood, you learn that it’s okay to let go of connections that no longer serve you. It doesn’t mean those friendships weren’t important; they were, but perhaps only for a specific season. Just like seasons, some will last longer, while others are fleeting. It’s okay to cherish the good times and accept that not all relationships are meant to last forever. Some are there to teach us, others to uplift us, and some just to share a laugh.
What I treasure most are the low-maintenance friendships. The ones where you can go weeks, months, even years without speaking, but when you do, it feels like no time has passed. There’s no guilt, no pressure, just pure love and understanding. It’s like picking up a book from where you left off, knowing that each chapter still matters, even if you don’t revisit it every day.
Adulthood teaches us that the people who matter most are those who love you genuinely, without conditions or expectations. They’re the ones who stay, even when life gets messy and unpredictable.
To my family, whom I deeply appreciate for being my friends and for loving me unconditionally—I’m beginning to understand just how important you are in my life. I promise to be a better person for you every day 🤞🏾
Just a quick reminder to myself and to you: be intentional about who you let into your life. Invest your time and energy wisely, and don’t be afraid to make space for the connections that bring you peace, joy, and a sense of belonging.
Love and more love . Until next time Adios✌🏾
