the older you grow, the heavier certain terms you call someone become. ‘friend’ has such a heavy emphasis on it that you don’t know who to call friend, you don’t know who is your actual friend or you don’t know whose friend you are. i’m swapping that for organic relationships without labels. listen to find out🗣 ✨Tuesdays - mental musings ✨Fridays - film commentary/reviews Please comment, share, follow 👌🏽 Let’s help each other grow, seeds🌻 IG: @ilisil_sa Twitter: @Christarei ilisilchitchats.wordpress.com Check out Emily Smith’s Article https://medium.com/age-of-empathy/normalize-friendships-ending-f478eb27b3c7
