What type of "friend" are you? Are you freeing or are you restrictive? Most of our friendships/bestfriendship(s) are possessive in ways that often limit us from being our authentic selves or limit us in ways where we aren't "supposed" to make any new platonic friendships. Who wants to live that way anymore? Sometimes fear gets in the way of us allowing others to venture out into the world to be free, but what are you afraid of butterfly? You limit yourself but why try to limit others?
