RE: What are your friends?
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I think for me managing expectations is where I tend to struggle with even after understanding that disappointments are inevitable. You have to let friends be themselves and not try to conform them into neat boxes that fit one's understanding/worldviews, it just tends to create much pensive energy in the air and as you rightly pointed out, some friends will fail us, in terms of the idea we have of them in our heads :)
Very relatable and interesting read!

I'm glad you enjoy it! And yes, that was the metaphor I was looking for - putting people into boxes. Thank you! 😅
It's never easy to follow the ideas that one finds compelling, it takes quite a bit of practice and perseverance to turn them into a custom and then into a habit. If they're aligned with your values, it's easier, though. It took me years to get to this point, and yes, many disappointments. But in the end, it is who I am and how I see (and want to see!) the world.
