Two of my closest friends from back home started a relationship in the last two weeks.
I’m so happy for both of them, and praying that they can develop these relationships, especially in the midst of some very tough circumstances. But I feel just a little bit threatened… are these two friendships still going to be as lively and strong as before, or will I be slighly faded, outshone by another torch?
I’ve been through so much with both of these people, and they mean the world to me. Personally, I think the best course of action is to be patient: I’m still going to love them as I would previous to the last two weeks, and, in return, I would expect nearly the same. And, as their friend and brother (in some instances) they should know that I am always here for them, regardless of what may happen.
It’s temptous, but I still need to remain patient. I need to wait to Make any sort of move with a relationship until the Fall.
