If I could count the people I have met and thought enough of to befriend, I wouldn't. The reason for this is simple. Just because I think a lot of them as people..doesn't mean they feel the same about me. Regardless of words typed or spoken..it is what it is. So when I sit back and wonder how someone is doing? I should really just purge my mind of any short term friendships. I understand better than anyone that life isn't always simple or that time isn't always bountiful. However; I also know a damn brush off when I receive it. I don't take the time to talk to everyone who wishes to talk to me. I don't have the time for it. But when I make time for the people I care about it would be awesome if I could get 5 minutes of genuine conversation. I am thankful for the friends I do have. The ones who stand by me through all of my silent modes. As well as my not so silent modes. I decided to not bother meeting anyone else to befriend, it's just not good for me to get that attached to people.
It's been on my mind for a while now...but now it's in text.
