Never forget how precious your friendships are. Your friends will get you through breakups, job losses, fights with family, apartment displacements, periods of self-doubt and so much more. Friends make everything better. You’ve laughed your hardest with your friends, and cried your hardest. So, failing to nurture those friendships in favor of say…your marriage or…your career…would be to lose perspective on what matters. Those other areas of your life are top priorities, of course, but you wouldn’t even enjoy your marriage or your job if you didn’t have friends. You know it’s true. I say all of this because, you should do all you can to prevent friendship breakups with your good friends. Once that bridge is burnt, it’s very hard to re-build it. Remember that it takes years to build trust and seconds to break it. If you’ve been neglecting your friend, you could have a friendship breakup coming your way.
