Friends...
Last night I posted this on Facebook :
There comes a time in your life when you realize you have to stop making time for the people who don't make time for you.
Tonight I posted it on Twitter. The reason I posted it last night was because I have a friend who is always lagging on me. We make plans and at the last minute she always breaks them. Every time I feel disappointed, sad, hurt, even a little self-pity. I got to thinking why I keep this person in my life. They obviously don't cherish our friendship the same way I do. I started thinking about how many time we've hung out over the last year and how many of those times I initiated the hanging out. My Dad always tells me, "The phone work's both ways." That kept running through my head when last night. Why is it I'm the one always initiating the conversation. I don't claim to be a busy person who's time is valuable, but when I set aside time for someone, I expect them to follow through.
After posting my thoughts on Facebook, I received quite a lot of comments about other people feeling the same way. I was actually surprised at how many people commented. That is why I posted it on Twitter tonight. Again, other people have felt the same way.
I know some of you are wondering why I didn't just tell this person how I felt. I guess I prefer to drop subtle hints in hopes they would figure it out. She did. She said she hadn't even realized.
Some people you can be forward with, some need hints, some just don't care. I guess the hard part is determining which friend you're dealing with.
You only quarrel with those you love. Those you don't love, well, it's just not worth the effort...
I'm not sure where this quote came from, but to me it's fitting because sometimes, "it's just not worth the effort."
