What Does having a Soul Tribe Mean?

Benefits of having a badass group of friends

I am so lucky to be honest. I sometimes have imposter syndrome where I do not feel this life I am living is mine. I have been on this earth for 30 years and I still am learning to navigate, relationships, and other parts of my life. I have made some mistakes but I am confident I am headed in the right direction. I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my environment and peers. Although, the world can be cruel sometimes it can also be so beautiful. I stay firm in the idea of having a support system. Sometimes being alone is needed but also having people to rely on is equally important. Here are a few reasons why having a soul tribe is important:

Endless Support

Life has not always been smooth for me and I have hit many bumps in the road. I have uprooted my life, quit jobs, broke up with boyfriends, and even threw a few tantrums. I have really done a 180 of my life though. My friends have watched me fumble and never once judged me for being lost. We all go through all types of things and sometimes we do just need a friend to hold space for us. I can say each one of my friends have given me an endless supply of support. When i started school they were right there to cheer me on for success. On 02/22/22 I opened my first Etsy shop for divination, candles, and other items for your spiritual journey. With much excitement and no surprise my friends showed up and showed out for me. Their friends even showed up for me. I was in tears as the orders rolled in one by one. What is friendship if not showing we support what our friends are doing creatively.

Empowerment

Surround yourself with high vibrational people. I have watched all my friends grow in to beautiful people. I have watched them work hard for everything they have. Some of my friends have their own established businesses that i have watched grow from the bottom. Some of us are just starting to live our true purposes. While some of my other friends are more than established. Watching them inspires me to reach the top and live the life I truly am capable of living. Their stories are proof that with hard work and dedication to your craft you can accomplish anything. This brings me to my next point.

Growth and Appreciation

To think that some of these friendships have lasted longer than 10 years in wild to me. I was in middle school and high school for some of these friendships. We have watched each other grow to become adults. We watched one another make good and bad choices but most importantly we have lots of growth. I have so much appreciation when I look back at our lives and look to now. It really is “started from the bottom now we here” like drake said.

Communication

I know here is where it becomes troublesome for people. How do you take off your armor to be vulnerable? Well, it is not the easiest thing to do. Your friend should be people you are comfortable saying how you feel. I do not mean calling them out on their behavior but coming from a genuine place of expression. No need to be passive, but say what you feel. A real friend will clear a safe place to show up and dialoge. Any relationship worth having will come to comprimse and present a solution. I am always open to hearing what my friends have to say. However, I will not pry or chase. If we have had a conversation and dealt with the issue and it contunies I expect my friends to speak up. A close mouth not got get fed in my opinion.

Thing are not always perfect 100% of the time. My friends all lead very busy lives and I try to find time whenever we can. I have had to say good bye to some as I felt it was a one way street, where I have to constantly reach out. Relationships take 2 people to work at it. If its important to you, it will be important to them. Life is just funny that way, we never know what is to come until it is here.
