Somebody once said to me, some friends are for seasons. That’s okay. It takes time before you meet the people who will stay, and the ones you feel that you most connect with. Some come into your life to teach you something and then they go just as quickly as they came.

Sometimes the friendship tree needs reshuffling, some friends are going to be there for you at different times of need—and be better at different things. I feel that when you come to this realisation, you will learn to manage and value friendships better. People don’t exist to be friends with you, or to be “good” enough for your standards, and that’s a harsh lesson that sounds like needs to be learnt.
