You truly are alone in this world when you are going through something (e.g. surgery) and you have no one who cares enough to wish you good luck. I find it sad. On the other hand, do we really need people in our lives to say something simple as, "good luck." Life has been so busy that friends have felt ignored and have stop communicating. Is having a career bad? Or is having a career that forces you to neglect those who care worth it? All that money you spent on education, all those sleepless nights spent studying, would you give up a little bit of time in your important career to keep those individuals in your life who will say, "hey good luck!" Can there be balance? What is life without balance? In my opinion after working a 24 hour a week job with a two hour commute one way, also working a 40 hour job a week with an hour commute one way really drains you. All you have time to do is work out and when the clock hits 8pm your passed out. what ever happened to those friends where after not communicating for let's say a month, you can pick up the phone and start where you left off? Why is there a unwritten law that says, "keep in touch or else you are not my friend."
Personally, ill get back to you when I can. Just because I don't reply right away it is not because I do not want to talk to you. I am busy, I am tired, I want to be alone. But I will get back to you.

Your so right, but if these friends r really friends they would understand your busy schdule. N we all need someone at sometime tellin us good luck! Good luck in life and everything u do! Your a very deep woman! I really like that about u!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I really do sympathize with the issue I completely understand the reasons behind it. Friendships are like household plants, they need water and sunlight. Neglect your plants for a week or so and you shouldn't be surprised to find them wilted. If one was to continue to neglect them one day you will come home to find them dead. Just like your favorite plant your friendships too need that care and attention every now and then. Granted you have a life and a demanding schedule but be aware that a high-speed life may leave your friendships choking in the dust. Someone once told me "it's lonely at the top, if you climb too high you might leave some people behind". I think this is true and like all things the key is balance. Being able to maintain friendships while maintaining a high paced work schedule is something many cannot manage, in fact it may be a impossible for some. Like all things that are important and worthwhile, you will make time for it if it matters.
ReplyDeleteSometimes work just matters more. Your real friends will back you up on that.
