No, this isn’t a broken hearted post. It’s a friendship gripe. Shall we say “friendship” gripe. And no, I’m not going to mention specifics because this is a public post and who knows who might see it. And I'm not even just saying non-blood friends. I have a family member I think needs to turn in their card. Because really? How much more only nice and talking in full sentences can I take when you want something?.... But here’s the thing. Love is easy to say, but difficult to do. Yes-friendship should be easy, but sometimes you need to make an effort to see how the other person is doing, go to see them, or just a message to find out how their new job/pet/sick mom/dad etc is doing especially if they always do the same.
I get it, you are busy. Life is hectic. Boyfriends, husbands, family…But hello? Do you think I just sit around in sweat pants all day? No chicks!
I have got to a point where I am not giving to be trying to do this with a few someone’s who have no real love to share but enjoy lapping up the attention and love and worry when something happens their side. Then thinking a “love you” will patch things up and make up for it. For surface friendship yes, for meaningful ones, no… Come on? Really? Does our friendship mean that little?
Anyway. THE POINT IS : no one can make you feel inferior without your permission.( I think that was Marilyn Monroe? ) And that if someone isn’t even trying, it’s time to step back and re-evaluate where you plug in your time and emotions. Because let’s face it, it’s the last one that is tiring if it’s not returned.
That’s my little vague rant for the day :)
