Sometimes I wonder, am I the only one?
Am I the only one who has a hard time finding and keeping a good friend? Why is it so hard to find that "perfect" friend? Sure I have other friends too.
I have a great friend, but she lives in Ohio and before that Oregon. I miss her. She and I aren't on the same spiritual level, but that's ok, I still love her.
Why is it so hard for women to find a close friend? We all want one, regardless of what we may say! It's just the way God created us. We need that this type of friendship. We have our husbands as our #1 best friend, but I don't know about you, but my husband doesn't like it to well when I "talk about him"....to him. :)
We as women and mothers need these friends whom we can vent to, cry to, and encourage us. I'm not embarrassed to say that I want that, and I want to be that friend.
So my question is, am I the only one? Do others feel this way too, and just never talk about it? Maybe it's just me, and my personality. I'm unsure.
I feel the same exact way... it seems I have been praying for a "best friend" for years now....
ReplyDeleteMe too Audra, me too...
ReplyDeleteYup...every woman strives to find their "other" other half. Hang in there. ;)
ReplyDeleteI actually feel better now ladies, knowing I'm not the "only one" who feels this way. Audra, I've been praying for a long time too. I thought you had that friend though. I'm sorry. Maybe we should get to know each other better. ;)
ReplyDeleteI went years without a really close friend. Then I reconnected with some friends from school (all the way back to grade school) after our 30th reunion. They are now my closest friends. They were there when Mom and Dad were sick and then died -- and through lots of happy times. I am blessed beyond words to have them now -- but I was without them for many years. Don't give up looking for that friend who becomes like a sister. You'll find her, but you'll go through a lot of superficial and disappointing friendships, too. Love you!
ReplyDeleteThis is something I think most women struggle with. As a military wife I have this problem a lot! Once you find that amazing friend you move and then despise that distance killed what you thought you had. Women need that person to cry and vent to just as you said. Our husbands are amazing support but they will never fill the void and longing for a female friend.
