REFLECTING ON 2021:

WHAT WAS A RELATIONSHIP/FRIENDSHIP FAIL IN 2021?

Honestly, I feel like I got out of touch with a few friends that I was really close with.

I view that as a fail because I really wanted these friendships to grow stronger this year, instead they became less consistent.

I take full responsibility for my part in it - lack of communicating being one of them. But I also know that it did not all fall on me and I did take mental note of people’s intentionality.

I think that’s what I learned through this failure. People will either be there or not, you don’t have to force yourself onto others.

Yes, I can reach out, I can do my part, but I also want to be met half way and vice versa. I’ve seen people reach out to me and take that initiative and so I also try my best to be as intentional.

I’m not perfect so I don’t expect others to be, but I do feel like things could’ve been better.
