Friendship Inventory

I don’t know what it is about your later 30’s, I feel like it’s more OK to be picky about who I want as friends. I think in your early years you try so hard to be friends w/ everybody that sometimes you are willing to accept all of the character flaws in others that you won’t even accept in yourself. That is changing for me. I have come to the realization that you have to want more from your friendships and if you don’t they won’t grow. The surface like “acquaintance,” friendships have to be treated in that manner. That has been hard for me to do. I try to be just as good of a friend to those people as well as whom I consider my ‘Core Friends.” That is ending, by doing this inventory I am going to start unloading passengers so that more room is available for the long drive I’d like to take. I’m taking control of my path with the assistance of faith, and letting myself drive and IT be the passenger. The Journey will be one of fulfillment; truth and acceptance, the best way I can think of to travel in this life
