Friends for a Reason, Season, or Forever

Send us a text

Relationships aren't always meant to last forever, and recognizing when one has run its course is essential for personal growth and well-being. We dive into the signs that indicate when it's time to move on and how to create meaningful connections that align with who you are now.

• Your body often signals when relationships no longer serve you – feeling heavy, small, or inauthentic around someone is a key warning sign
• Communication is crucial – bottling up feelings leads to resentment while honest conversations provide opportunities for growth
• Not every relationship ending is tragic – some people come into our lives for a reason, a season, or forever
• Making new friends as an adult requires putting yourself out there, showing genuine interest, and following up consistently
• Setting boundaries, especially with family, is essential but challenging – respect is non-negotiable in all relationships
• Grieving ended relationships is natural, but making space allows room for connections that better align with who you are now
• Trust your intuition when something feels off – you deserve relationships where you can be your authentic self
