Hi friends. Im glad this message found you in your perfect place and space. Recently, a suggestion was made to me to write down 25 personal requests Id like for friends to consider with the intention of strengthening my awareness and building our relationship. I made this list. I shared this list with those I felt appropriate. I now have a better understanding of my boundaries in relationships with friends. Because Im on Facebook frequently, with the intention of creating a stronger authentic network of people around me, I made a list of 10 requests Id like my Facebook friends to simply consider as well. If you have zero desire to consider this list, please delete me as a friend :-) I dont like to see you go but no matter the platform or embodiment, friendships to me are real and valuable. I treat Facebook just as I would face to face interaction with you. In face to face interaction, I will tell you my intentions, and make requests such as these. Just because Im requesting things of you, doesnt mean I expect you to perform ;-) I just want you to know my requests. Id like to know yours too! Either way, all day, if Im loving me Im loving you, no matter who or where you are! If you do want to consider this list of requests and choose to do so, please share your feedback! 1. Please choose a profile picture that is most accurate to how you look day to day-otherwise, if I see you on the street, I may pass you up without recognizing you! 2. Please message me and invite me for tea for 30 minutes to an hour. We may get along, we may not, but at the end of it, either way, well know ourselves and the world a little better! 3. Ask open minded Questions on your statuses-this helps wake me up, and helps me remember my curious nature 4. When you send me an invite to an event, please private message me as well-otherwise, I may not see you invited me and if I do, depending on the size of the event, I may not feel personally invited to go, and probably won’t because of that. I have a need for authentic connection, and if Im not privately messaged, I wont feel as though that is the intention. 5. Talk about how you’re feeling in the moment on your statuses and comments. You don’t have to share intimate details :-) but please be honest and take responsibility. This helps me have courage to do the same. 6. Share thoughts about your favorite things, tips, and places to go! 7. If you consistently point fingers at others instead of take responsibility for your actions and behavior, you are emitting low, unpleasant, and dis empowering messages to your friends and family. This is not respectful to yourself or others. I am learning to set boundaries around this. I will delete you from my friends list. I invite you to message me for feedback if you find I have taken action to remove you. 8. Post beautiful pictures of life on my wall! 9. Kindly challenge me when I make statements that you don’t understand. Like, “I’m not sure I know what you mean, but I want to. Would you like to talk further about this?” 10. Share empowering, inclusive articles that challenge a commonly accepted viewpoint. We are living in a dynamic world! My neural networks need to kindly be challenged, and often! ∞
