not every friendship is meant to stay

If you’ve ever felt like certain friendships leave you more distracted, more negative or just.. not closer to who you’re trying to become, this matters. Our society talks a lot about “boundaries” and “protecting your peace,” but rarely about the deeper question: are your friendships actually helping you grow in virtue.. or slowly pulling you into compromise? This is about being honest with the kind of influence your circle has on you and recognizing that relationships are never neutral, not about cutting people off or thinking you’re better than anyone. The people closest to you will either sharpen you or slowly shape you into something you never intended to become and if you’re serious about your faith, your life and the person you’re trying to be.. that’s not something you can afford to ignore.
