Every relationship comes(many times) to a stand still. Where you're stuck in a routine, from what you say, to how you say it, going out for lunch.. and the friendship seems not to have anything new to offer, the connection starts to fade and it seems like the beginning of the end. This doesn’t have to become the end of the relationship. Obviously you do have the choice to end it if you feel like you’ve played your part and don’t want anything further. You see most of the time it’s just that you’ve reached the place where you have gotten everything you can at that level of your relationship. Usually it is that you have been friends the traditional way, the let’s go out for lunch, for drinks, share a book, compete on who’s more miserable, talk about relationships, take pictures type of thing which you’ve been at so long it wears you out. You start to crave something new, well thankfully you can find newness in an old relationship. To bring back a friendship to being alive is simple, just talk about things that matter, ask people’s points of views on world issues, you’ll be surprised at how people you thought you knew have so much more to show. Challenge the stagnancy of the friendship, talk about that. Have those scary conversations about politics, gender inequality, double standards, religion, belief, abuse, discrimination, mental health, education, health, business, family, issues in your community, femicide and so much more happening. You have a wider array of topics that matter to you, your partner, your friend, family members and the world around you in its entirety. Engage your world in depth, not only will it help you realize that there's so much more about people for you to experience and learn, but also that there is so much more to get out your relationship with them. It will spark ideas that could change your family, your community and even your country. It will also show you which people to build your vision with. Go out of the normality of what friendships are defined to be. You are an individual, built uniquely to live how only you can. So leave these pressures that reduce you to being NORMAL and having mundane relationships. Start having gripping conversations and hopefully you gain so much more insight in things you thought you knew and also renew relationships you thought had ended.
