The World We Live In: The Reality of Broken Friendship
Friendship is one of the most beautiful gifts that life can give us. It is an unbreakable bond that can endure anything, be it the toughest times or the happiest memories. We share our joy and pain with our friends, and our lives would be incredibly boring and mundane without them. But unfortunately in life, somethings are not meant to last forever – and this includes friendships. Despite our best efforts, sometimes a friendship just isn’t meant to be, and in the end it ends up being shattered and broken.
It’s always painful when it happens, and it can be difficult to come to terms with the fact that the person you once called your friend is now someone you don’t even know. We can’t help but take it personally, because we’re so used to friends being there for us no matter what. Even if it’s only been a month, six months, or a year since that person drifted away, it still hurts.
It can be even more painful if the friendship that was broken was an older one – a friendship that you shared a special bond with throughout the years. It’s as if a part of your life is suddenly gone, and it can feel like a deep, gaping wound inside of you. Not only that, but the brokenness can open old wounds, which can make healing even harder.
People often think that the best way to move on from a broken friendship is to just ignore it and act like it never happened – and while this works for some, it doesn’t work for everyone. Everyone has their own unique way of dealing with the hurt that comes from broken friendships, and it’s important to remember that it’s okay to face the sadness and unhappiness that comes with it. You don’t have to put on a brave face and pretend that everything is alright, because it’s not.
The best thing you can do is to try and heal. This means taking the time to think through why your friendship ended and looking at your own actions and choices. It can also help to talk to a trusted friend or family member, or even seek professional help. While it can be intimidating and scary, seeking help can be the best thing you can do for yourself.
The world we live in is unpredictable and full of brokenness and imperfection. But the good news is that even in the midst of broken friendship, there is hope – and that hope is that we can learn and grow from this experience. We can learn to value our friends more, cherish the time that we have with them, and remember that as much as we appreciate them, we also need to take care of ourselves. We can also understand that while we can’t always control the outcome of our relationships, we can control how we respond to them. So even if your friendship is broken, don’t give up hope. Instead, focus on taking steps towards healing and growth.
