How do you view the great friendship debate?

“Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your Aloha Friday post link below. Also, please consider linking back to this post so that others can join in, too! Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!” – Kailani

Friendship – What’s the debate?

Earlier this week I wrote about friendship that is created by location and how when I can’t move that friendship out of the location it makes me a little sad. For example: if you form friendships at church, your job or your local gym and then you only speak to those people when you are at that location. The friendship never moves from that place that it was formed.

A friend of mine told me she was just the opposite and I was the weird one! lol – She said she prefers those types of friendships and that it doesn’t bother her at all. She’s fine with that arrangement. It’s a good thing I’m not or we would only be speaking to each other at water aerobics at the YMCA. Now that she no longer has a membership and I’m no longer in that class we might not be friends now 3 years later if I were the same way. So I bring it to you my Aloha Friday friends….

I’m on the same side of the friendship spectrum you are – it would be kind of a bummer to ony have friendships in the specific places they started – because once you leave those places, that means those friendships end, which means they weren’t ‘real’ friendships to begin with. I look at friendships as having things in common and enjoying spending time with someone – no matter the locale. Like I consider you a friend – and if you stopped blogging I’d be hunting you down some other way.

  Thank you so much! And your timing is amazing. That is exactly what I needed to read at this moment. A point of contention in my marriage is that what I do is viewed as a “hobby.” This is not the case but it’s hard to explain that to others who do not understand this space. After reading your comment I really feel like I’m using my skills to the best of my abilities. Thank you for your friendship and hopefully some day we will get to meet in real life.

Wow! I’ve never thought about it. I have friends that I’ve been close since we were teens and young mothers. I’ve had friends I worked with and we keep up with each other on Facebook.
