“Any major life rupture reveals who was never built for the terrain ahead […] when you discover that half the people you thought were ride or dies weren’t even ride or die adjacent, don’t waste time being sad about it. Those people could not have supported you much longer anyway. They maxed out their capacity for you the moment your life required more than surface level friendship.” Kelly Oxford

This was a profound statement. As life takes you into the deep, you swim alone, but you also end up seeing and experiencing things beyond your initial imagination.
The depth requires a different level of person. We often get plunged into depths against our will and out of our control, so don’t be surprised if no one is ready for the plunge with you. In my own experience of loss, I have noticed so much in relationships and friendships revolves around the depth a person can handle. Can they go there with you?
Nothing is worth staying on the surface. Lose what you must to transform and see the new.
