maintaining friendships

maintaining a meaningful friendship takes effort. As life evolves, many things cause people to drift away. If you care about someone, you need to do things to show you value them.

    I have learned even in long-term friendships you to still have to show up and invest time and energy. One person cannot carry a friendship alone or count on childhood/college memories especially as we are continuing to evolve and grow and juggle daily life moments.
