Don’t Let Relationships Die
The Importance of Reaching Out
Relationships become difficult when we get busy. They are the quickest to fall by the wayside and sometimes the thing we need the most.
All too often, six months…a year…two years go by and we’ve lost touch with people that used to be our greatest friends.
Now sometimes, this is for the best. People can sometimes fall out of your life because you’ve been at odds for a while or you both have changed. But a lot of the time, this happens because you looked up and a couple months went by. You said no to a couple invites and the person stopped reaching out.
You have two choices when you finally have time to spend with these people. You can either take the path of least resistance and let your relationship slowly drift apart or you can be the one to initiate contact.
Now I get it. You say to yourself: What are they going to think? Will they understand?
To be honest, most of the time they’re probably thinking that they want to reach out again, but have already done so and feel guilty.
When neither side says something in the line of communication, nothing ever gets communicated.
Sounds simple to fix. Reach out. And it is! But it’s so simple not to do too.
We have many people that end up drifting out of our lives and we always can wonder what happened to them. I think they’re often wondering the same about us.
Sometimes, it’s worth reaching out. Trying to rebuild the relationship again by going out for a coffee sometime or meeting up for something you both used to enjoy.
Friendships are a huge part of life and we let them go so easily.
Make them a little harder to slide away. It’s ok to fight for the things we wish to keep.
