![]() ![]() We give relationships meaning by the amount of attention and work we put into them. You run the risk of realizing that there’s not as much there as you remembered. What’s in it for your friend if you are not equally invested? If you tune into the friendship again only after a divorce or once your kid is in preschool? Absence might not make the heart grow fonder. If you only prioritize your kids, what happens when they’re grown and living far away, wrapped up in their own lives? Or if you only prioritize work? Wow, that’s too sad to even contemplate.įriendship can definitely survive, simmering on the back burner, in a way that some other relationships can’t. No one human can meet your every single emotional need. If you prioritize only your romantic relationships, who is going to hold your hand through a breakup? Relying on your spouse to be your everything will definitely undo your marriage. ![]() We think of Big Friendship as a way to deepen and diversify the community of support that will see us through the hard times. You want a big, resilient friendship so you, as a human, can be resilient when you’re presented with the horrible shit that life will most definitely throw your way. You don’t want a big friendship to be resilient just so it endures. ![]()
