Nature of Friendship - Ashley C. Ford

“The first relationship I had where somebody challenged me, lovingly, and was never telling me I wasn’t good enough, or wasn’t ever telling me I was bad, but was actually telling me, “I love you so much that I need you to know how much you’re capable of and how much potential there is for your life. Like, I just need you to understand that,” which was something so separate from what I had been used to, and then that relationship couldn’t exist as it had before. And that was really painful.

“It was painful because one of the things that I feel like we don’t talk about enough in friendship, especially long-term friendships or relationships of any kind, is that we’re going to change and we should change, but when we change, sometimes our relationships have to change. And our dynamics with the people in those relationships have to change, and the truth is some people are going to be like, “Yeah, like I love you, but we’ve got to figure out how to make this relationship, friendship, whatever, work.

“And then sometimes it just can’t exist this way anymore. And we either need to separate or we need to build something new”
