friends

I've become acutely aware of how important friends and family are, and how hard it is sometimes to simply maintain relationships. I don't have many friends, but I'm especially close with the few I do have. This being said, when these close friendships drift apart--due to distance, lack of communication or lack of effort--it can hit you like a ton of bricks. Some friendships can survive years with no communication, and then pick up again as if you never left. Most require more work than that.

  1. You can leave a friendship feeling confident in its strength-- make that friend a fixture in your mind, a character in your life. But sometimes you come back and they've changed, or they just aren't as inspiring. it hurts.

    I hope you don't mind my commenting. I saw you followed me.
