True Friends

We all have at least 60 friends on facebook; but when it comes to needing someone to talk to, how many will actually be there for you? I can guarantee you, not even 15 of your facebook friends will like this status. If you would be there for me, set this as your status & see how many of us will be there for you.♥

I saw this today on Facebook and it got me thinking about friendship. I think that we talk friendships for granted at times. We "friend" someone, and then never speak to them again. If that person called you at 2 am, just to chat, would you answer the phone? If they were sick, would you bring them dinner or sit with them while they were puking? If they suffered a loss, would you be there to let them cry on you?

I would.

I've considered myself a good friend. Four years ago I was surrounded by friends. Most of which I had met through my church, and most I was very close with. But then life seemed to interfere. I got caught up in the guys I was dating, instead of my friends. I know you are supposed to work on the relationships, but how good are the relationships if you aren't yourself? I've lost many friends over these four years. Not physically, none have passed away. But emotionally. I used to be a part of "The Fearsome Foursome". Heck, I don't even have photos (except on FB) of us on my computer!

All of this moving is taking a toll on friendships. I'm doing all that I know to make friendships happen- inviting people over for dinner or game night, asking them to come to dinner. I cherish the friends I do have, but everyone lives so far from us!

I miss having someone to just call up to go to the mall or shopping with. I miss grabbing a dinner and catching up on life. Shoot, I even miss playdates!

I know life will get back to regular at some point. I know that I will read back on this and see how much better life is.

This is just me venting. Just putting out there my thoughts and feelings. They may seem low and sad, but that is life right now for me!
