Why Friendships Matter
“A close friend once texted me while at an airport, explaining how odd it was that she felt alone in a crowd of people. I don’t think I told her, but I remember thinking about how often I get that same feeling. She went on to say, ‘there are people all around me, interacting with each other, having fun together: but I’m sitting here alone.’
I think that some of the loneliness I feel comes from my age. I’m not at the point where I’m completely independent, but I’m independent enough to do things on my own, go places on my own, live on my own. Sometimes I feel that I grew up too fast and that’s why I’m stuck in this awkward in-between place.”
Do your friendships go wide, but you’re struggling with how to help them grow deeper? Are you curious about faith and want to develop better connections in your friendships?
