Not all friendships deserve to be broken just like that, and whether we try to make good excuses as to why we should let them go, let us examine carefully if what they did is so huge to destroy something worth more than their present actions.
Friendship is a beautiful thing and requires grace and constant forgiveness especially, like you said for friends who you know are genuine.
If a matter is trivial, it should not be enough to break a friendship, in my opinion talk things out and while you do so, do it with compassion and grace . Cool off if need be before confronting any issue.
Once again it's a pleasure to always read your letters Sibi, it's something I literally look forward to every Friday.🤗💗
Beautiful... Amanda do you know that just Friday I had to discuss with a friend about how she hurt me and this is something I barely have interest in doing as I have the habit of resolving matters alone, forgiving and letting go.
And most of the times my letting go is putting
huge distance but I felt led to approach the matter and a lot was let out and funny truth is this, there were unresolved hurt from years ago and I am so glad I didn't let go as usual cause this friend isn't a toxic person at all.
Do you think there are trivial issues that should not be let go of?
Yes! If such trivial issues trouble your heart and peace so much, it better to deal with it within you or with the friend.
How can you communicate to the other person without offending them, especially when they hear one thing and term it another?
This is difficult, I get tired when I deal with such and end the conversation but it doesn't resolve anything for me but it will keep peace and not hurt the other person
Hmmm, you have made nice points and truthfully its hard when the other person lacks comprehension especially when everything you say is like its against them. However, understanding that conflicts are not resolved in one day is essential for everyone who has and will experience issues with their friends eventually
