As with so many other areas of life, friendships ending is essentially space being cleared. It means something new and more aligned is on the way. I embrace these shifts and no longer resist them. There's no sense in clinging, it just prevents growth/transformation and prolongs unnecessary discomfort.
Love this. I've reached the point at which I have no tolerance for people who cancel for silly reasons at the last minute. As an adult, I've lived many years in Spanish-speaking countries, where going with the flow is considered ideal in all contexts. Spontaneity is seen as the coolest thing. Cancelling for any reason at the last minute is perfectly acceptable. It's viewed as an opportunity for the other person to show how patient and flexible they are. I eventually reached the painful conclusion that these cultures were not for me.
On an unrelated note, and feel free to ignore this question -- I know this is a tangent and beside the point, but why do guys want to join fraternities in the first place? I never had the urge to go Greek when I was in college. There are so many other ways to meet people and work together on common interests.

Excellent post! You are spot on when you highlight the importance of realizing our own worthiness and respect. That is huge. Thank you.
