Has your idea of what makes a good friend changed as you’ve gotten older?

Absolutely! As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed boundaries, and I need you to have some too. And some common sense, please! 😂
I’ve come to understand that friendship does not require oversharing, constant access, or agreeing on every life decision. Not all your choices will make sense to me, and mine might not make sense to you either. And that’s perfectly fine, as long as our core values align.
Some things, however, have never changed for me: loyalty and mutual respect. Those are nonnegotiable.
Because what do you mean you’re comfortably keeping company with people who openly wish me harm or actively undermine me? We cannot have that, beloved! 😂
Growing older has taught me that friendship is not about knowing everything about each other. It’s about knowing where we stand with each other.
