The past few weeks have seen me loose a close friend not through death. that particular friend believed that friendship had become uncomfortable. Though neither of us is at fault I still feel like the victim. I have tried many ways to find this closure and am just about getting there. Its only when i think that i am there i will be reminded of it. This friend was a sister to me. I always believed she was my big sister and by being honest I ruined a friendship that i treasured. I have been writing a goodbye letter to this friend and in there poured out all my emotions. Anger, Sorrow, Hate, Love, Disgust etc... Many might ask in all this negative emotion how love figures into it. I loved this friend as a sister... If i needed advice i would consult her... she had become my confidant... and then she broke it off... just like one discards an old shirt... After all this she came up with starting a new friendship but one with limitations and boundaries... Is friendship about limitations and boundaries? i don't think i want such a friendship...
friendships are meant to evolve not stay stagnant by the limitations you put on it...
I just Pray that I am able to move on from this...

Types of relationships
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally, or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.
Then people come into your life for a SEASON, b ecause your turn has come to share, grow, or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it! It is real! But, only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons: things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.
