I’m at the point where I don’t want relationships that only exist because we’ve known each other for years.

I talk about two people we’ve known forever who canceled on us three times in a row without even bothering with a sorry, and how that made me look at the friendship a whole lot harder. There’s no real foundation. No emotional maturity. No closeness underneath all that history.

And I think part of why I’m noticing it so much now is because I’ve changed. I don’t feel avoidantly attached the way I used to. I feel secure. I want relationships with people who show up, communicate, care, and actually know how to have a real connection.

I’m done keeping surface-level relationships around just because they’ve been around a long time.

F that.
