Alora Kutzler : "Friendship"
So my blog entry this week is going to be somewhat personal, but it's nothing new for me. I always tend to get personal in my smile and frowns. I overall just like to share my stories, because who knows maybe someone could relate in some way. Earlier this week, I had lost a friendship… I have lost many friends within the past year. Not all friendships, we are all growing up and going to different places in life. Especially because high school is coming to an end next year. But for some reason I just always wonder if it's me? If i'm the one who causes my friendships to fail? Or if it's them? A mix of both?
I give my all in friendships and always put everyone first..I always see the good in people. And because of this i'm easily taken advantage of and don't see a bad friend when they are right in front of me. With that said, why are good solid friendships so hard to come by these days? Everyone always seems to talk behind everyone's backs, it seems no one is truly genuine anymore. Its few and far between when you can find a friend who isn't fake. Backstabbing and fake friends seem to flourish in this generation and in our society. And especially in high school.
I wish we could all get our heads out of our phones and take a minute to get out of our self absorption and take a look around. See what that is doing to our friendships and our relationships, to our lives. What is a good meaningful life without good meaningful friendships? To me it doesn't sound like a life I want to have. Does it to you? So take a minute to look at your friendships or make new ones. Everyone always needs a friend, make a new friend this holiday season.. It might just make someones life a little bit better.
I saw the title of your blog and immediately was intrigued. I relate to this a lot. I have struggled a lot in the past with friendships. I have "bounced" from people to people, wondering why I can't seem to keep friends, thinking I was the problem. I still haven't really figured out why it happens, but I think its just something that happens in life until you find those people you're meant to stick with forever. It makes me sad how many people tend to go through things like this, but it also kind of makes me feel better to know I am not the only one.
ReplyDeleteHaving close friends that you can trust and count on is so important, but it can be really hard to find them, especially in high school. I've seen so many people talking badly about their friends behind their backs and then acting as if nothing is wrong when they are around them, and it bothers me that people insist on pretending to be friends with people they don't like. Friendships require love and trust from both sides just as relationships do, and they need to be taken a lot more seriously than they are.
