Tag anyone who has set the friendship bar high 🫶🏽👇🏽⁣ ⁣ Never underestimate the power of genuine friendships. The right group of companions could be the difference in where you go, how you get there, who you become, and how much joy you feel along the way.⁣ ⁣ If you’re looking for a come-up in 2023, the friends you choose will have a major impact on your journey. If you want to know who’s good for you, this list is a good place to start.⁣ ⁣ Of course, our friendships are not merely self-serving. Like any connection, we must put in the energy and effort we’d like to receive from others. Becoming a good friend is the first rule in having meaningful friendships.⁣ ⁣ We usually find friends through work and common interests or meet them through people we know. We typically don’t consider if they pass a values checklist.⁣ ⁣ But becoming very intentional and even picky with whom we exchange energy is responsible and necessary. It’s good to keep an open heart with everyone we meet, but be discerning with your inner circle. ⁣ ⁣ Other ways to tell if someone would make a good friend is to observe how they respond in conflict, how much space they’re capable of holding for your emotions and their own, and their approach to life and love.⁣ ⁣ Many friendships outlive other relationships and should be treated and revered as the platonic marriages we enter with soulmates who have our backs through it all.⁣ ⁣ May you continue to attract a high-vibe circle of self-loving beings who bring out the best in you.⁣ ⁣ #VexKing
