WHAT IS YOUR FIRST REACTION TO A
FRIEND’S EXCITING NEWS?
Encourage. OR Discourage? 16 August | September 2020
I love people. I am a people person, I do not have a "type" of friend, I can find connecting points with most human beings. With that being said, in my small world of people I am connected to, I have them broken down into two groups:
Group 1 are people I have great relationships with and we can catch right back up after not talking for years. We can send random texts or GIFs for a good laugh. It is a great group of people and the relationship hardly every goes below the surface.
Group 2 is different, and A LOT smaller. Group 2 is filled with the select few who have witnessed me cry (actual, real, live tears) and have seen the absolute worst, and have also experienced my absolute best! They can hold my secrets, and encourage me when I am on a roll, but also can listen to me when I am knee deep in an emotional breakdown. I love AND need both groups in my life.
Now, there are some people that won't ever make it in Group 2, but it’s not because I don't want them to be there. I have had to learn through
