We Need Each Other – Really.

So there’s this song that’s played on the radio that says “we need each other” and I cannot tell you how true it is. We need each other to survive. Survive life, survive our day, survive ourselves. We’re bound to make mistakes and lose sight of what’s important to us. We’re bound to say things we don’t mean and offend others. We’re bound to lack certain things and be in need of advice and guidance. We need each other.

We need to take a good look at our life and see if we truly have people in our lives that are needed…or if they’re just there to hang out with and add to our “friends list.” Do we have a person or 2 or 3 that we can call in time of need? Whether it’s because our car broke down and we’re stranded or whether it’s because we’re going through a crisis and need someone to talk to. And most importantly, do you have someone that not only you need, but you can trust as well? Someone who you can tell a deep dark secret to KNOWING they won’t tell anyone. The truth is, a lot of us don’t have these people in our lives. We’re not living life to it’s fullest because we have these little loop holes called accountable friendships. I truly believe that because of the busyness of life and ridiculous advances in technology the importance of true relationships is completely lost…or at least much less available.

Anyway, those are my thoughts. And here’s my thing, and I know I’ve said it before. I truly want accountable friendships in my life and I hope you do too. We should all start pursuing them because you’ll never know when we really need each other until we realize that no one is there.
