S,

Have you talked to her about your fear? Now that she’s in your main circle, its changed the friendship… and change is often scary. Remember that she’s your friend and loves you, too. Is she afraid of the same thing? My wife and I sometimes still do something similar. We’ll both be afraid that the other would rather be doing something else, and finally one of us brings it up and we both laugh about how silly we are. Both enjoying each others company and both needlessly fearing the other isn’t. That’s why communication and courage are important in relationships… friendships or romances.

That being said, if you two do grow apart it would suck and hurt your heart, but you would heal with time. There’s no reason to assume it will happen, especially if you keep talking! The real threat is the fear, because that can put distance between you… where you used to confide in her, if you are afraid OF her, you may hold back. Perhaps consider that it may be such a relief if you don’t over think it, take a deep breath and jump toward her. Said differently, dont be afraid to tell her how you feel. It is, after all, how you feel.

Namaste, little sis. May your days be bright and your nights be restful.

With warmth,
Matt
