A possible little rant about friends.
So. Friends… how do you define them? How do you know which are your “best friends”..
And why is it that some friends you talk to so much that it seems you never run out of things to talk about and others that there’s just nothing to talk about no matter how much you try and that some friends you like don’t want to spend time with and that although its a little better than you expect it to be, most of the time you just like don’t want to spend time with them. And while others you like want to and like make the effort but its just like not reciprocated…
Like, it’s probably like a bad example but on bebo. You have “top friends”. Hmm, what’s that? Well, to me, it’s like my close friends and friends that I talk to often and such… I wish that there wasn’t a no.1, coz honestly, (not like it matters, but it kind of does to me…) I just like want all of the friends that I have on my top7 to be like no.1, coz they all like mean the same to me.. Atm, the no.1 friend is this guy that I met this year and well I don’t want to change it coz I don’t want to decide who is the next no.1 and so yeah, I’m like taking the easy way out…. not that like anybody cares (maybe him…. but I dunno)
And also on bebo…. how many of the “friends” that you add that you actually know and talk to on a regular basis?? I know that I only pretty much talk to the like mostly first half of the page and like occasionally really the first page in general…. tbh it’s quite boring….. hmm. I dunno.
For me, the friends I have on bebo are like 135 or something and they have all been people I have met offline apart from one or two. And, honestly I don’t know what I use Bebo for… oh, yes, that’s right. Procrastination and when I’m bored…. and then I go like change my profile page and skin. Lol….
So, yeah, there may be like different ‘levels’ of friendship… there’s close friends that like, you’ll most probably and definitely be friends with for a long time and that you’ll like probably be invited to their wedding (coz, believe it or not, uh oh, it’s our or my generation for like stuff like this… or maybe appropriately termed, “growing up”) and that no matter like how less contact you have with them, you at least like meet up every so often and like I guess make the effort.
I’m kind of tired of always making the effort and wondering when I’m like going to like have the effort made back. There has been this friend that’s been like I’ve been in daily contact with and then like now its suddenly stopped and well may have contributed to this entry. But yeah….
Maybe its that I’m so into like keeping the contact and of friends that I just don’t know when to give up…. =\ That I just keep trying even though its a lost cause and I may never be getting anywhere…. *sigh* I dunno. And add on top of that I think a hell of a lot then well…. you get me!
I honestly like don’t know whose going to be there like ten years later…. it’s kind of sad. Well, that’s a semi-lie. I know that there are like a few that I know and they know who they are coz a while back, something like really made me think about this and yeah I like realzied that that group will like always be there coz of a link.. and thinking maybe another two as well…. possibly.. that’s from like the Primary School days..
I seem to like change friends and have a new set that I am like kind of close to and like hang out with every year…. not to say that like I’ll like ditch the others, I still like talk to them and make the effort but… it’s just like differnet, I guess y’know. Like, the current situation with one of my friends… don’t talk that often/daily anymore and I can just sense a change but…. I don’t know. Maybe it’s too early to like draw conclusions, I did upset him and so give it some time.. but…. why does things have to change? That are like out of your control…
I’m feeling very nostalgic atm….
Just like thinking back on all my friendships… the pre-2006/last year of high school ones…. they didn’t really have much of an impact on my life other than that it led me to my post-high school ones in which I still talk to.. Primary School ones… I don’t really even talk or even see the friends I made in primary school… other than like my sister’s ones? Heh.. somehow they’re the only people I talk to from Primary and that I like regularly hang out with and another that I talk to on msn… and like friends that I made through work…. uni friends…. from this year and last year…
I dunno but I find it kind of slightly odd and weird how easily some people like say that “oh, they’re my best friend, we do everything together” etc… I find it hard to define friends.. like pretty much everyone I met are like friends after like hanging out and talking for a few days/couple of weeks. I guess maybe its time to use “acquaintences” and the like…
Well. I could just go on forever! So I think I will just end it here. Friends are…. kind of don’t know how to finish that… I guess friends are great when you know and its reciprocated but…. yeah.
