Last week in the post, Chasing
Windmills I wrote about how I don't chase friendships. A conversation occurred between me and my BFF Chandra Sparks Splond where we recalled, how at different points in our lives we found ourselves chasing friendships. We concluded that we no longer participate in that practice and penned sister articles about it. Both posts sparked conversation and offered similar as well as divergent points of view.
One of the responses I received challenged my post by stating, “I have friends that I don’t speak with or see regularly. When we connect we resume where we left off like we never missed a beat. I don’t consider that chasing…” Chandra received a response that offered a different aspect to the discussion. “Maybe it’s not all about you. Maybe that person is going through their own situation and can’t attend to you right now…”

All of the above are true too. So I will clarify and further my point.
