I was reading about how friendships change every 7 years, and I feel this way about the world i rest in now. And family is not something we choose, it's so true. I didn't really realise how much suffering we have when it comes to family and friendships until after I hit middle age. It really changes in every facet of life. I still love all my friends, and I keep the ties close but it's so different as your path and you changes.

There is a while theory about humans changing every 7 years and I’ve always felt there is truth in it. Maybe friendships renew or fade just the same. I am beyond grateful to have friends that became really family and we always renew our relationships and grow stronger through all changes.

This really hit me - reading this felt like being wrapped in a warm, familiar hug. Exactly the reminder I needed about chosen family and the kind of trust that actually holds.

Your words on chosen family ring so true. Friends who carry both the heavy and the beautiful without judgment really do rewrite what safety feels like. That line ‘the universal question, am I worthy of love? finds its answer in friendship’ hits right in the chest. Thank you for naming it with such honesty. ✨
