friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Should We Always Be an Open Book?. Top Story - January 2024.
One thing that I have learned over the last several years is that I shouldn’t be too honest or vulnerable with just anyone. In the past it was nice to be able to say that I was an open book. I was to the point that people knew I’d basically answer any question. Over time people around me realized this, and would ask me all sorts of personal questions that I felt obligated to always answer. Talk about painful! I have learned that we shouldn’t be a completely open book to just everyone. As the old quote goes, “Don’t cast your pearls before swine.” That quote is appropriate when thinking about sharing your heart and soul with people. I think it’s important to seek the right people to be vulnerable with because when you do, it builds relational intimacy. I think at the end of the day we’re all seeking meaningful relationships, not heartbreak, right?

Loss of a loved one
Embedded within our short existence, I find nothing quite as cruel as the loss of a loved one. Whether it be a death, a divorce, a falling out, a breakup, or a gradual slipping away, we find ourselves unquestionably aware of the pain of absence, the despair of nothingness. To lose someone is to break a promise that the future, as you have so confidently defined it through the present, will continue unaltered.
