#Sunday #SundayThoughts #SundayVibes #Heartspeak - Over the years, in my various friend circles, I have been the one who kept in touch with everyone and if you wanted to know how someone was doing, you could reach out to me for an update. That was because I sincerely cared about the people in our group. When I say I am your friend, I mean it. When I say I have your back, I mean it.
As the years have passed, I have learned that although you consider someone a friend, that isn't always the case on their end. People are strange in that way. They will call you a friend, even family, but their actions don't always line up with their words. I never understood the point. Some will keep you near in case you become successful too, but that's an entirely different post!
I adopted the phrase "Love IS what Love DOES" MANY moons ago as a result of trying to manage these sometimes complicated connections. At the end of the day, ACTIONS speak louder than words. #LoveIsWhatLoveDoes
As we enter a time in our lives where friends and family will need each other more than ever, take time to evaluate the kind of friend YOU are. Are you representing the qualities you expect in others? Are you taking the time to strengthen and nurture your friendships and actually caring enough to ask your friends how they are and how things are in their lives?
Don't be the person that takes good, solid friends for granted because in this season, users and takers WILL start getting cut off. Folks are tired and will be seeking those who add to their lives and not drain. This includes your STRONG friends. Check on them. Don't only reach out when YOU need a shoulder or helping hand.
Be consistent. Be kind. Be understanding. Always remember, Love IS what Love DOES! If I ever told you I love you, I still do. That won't change, even if you are no longer a part of my life.
#2021 A year for us all to learn to be better humans! It's all about empathy and kindness for me! Peace, love and blessings - MzVirtue ❤️
