This is a good time for reflection for me. Having just had a birthday. To regroup and rethink what is important. What is real and what isnt.
When it comes to friends....we all want them, we want to retain those that we have. But there comes a point where , like an employer doing a six month review...you check out those who call themselves friends and those who actually act the part.
I've been through some hell in the past year and I KNOW who has been there for me in words or action...and I know those who didnt have a clue nor cared. But it's not their responsibility nor is it mine.
But I beginning to understand this word called friend. And that possibly really means. Its more than "hey what you been up to?" every blue moon when in truth they dont care... they just want to hear themselves talk.
It's more than the person who only interested in your life if somehowit benefits them. A friend, no matter how different they may be from yourself tends to have some genuine love for your existance. A connection either in contradiction or compliment that breathes in as you breath out.
It's an exchange a sharing of ideas and heart and in turn something beautiful is created. You finally feel accepted...you feel a part of someone or something. You don't have to change, cause its unconditional.
So having said that...ive spring cleaned my phonebook again...cause i was like " who are these people?" There's family, lovers, friends, associates, frienemies, and just merely fans. those are circles that surround me.
i cant do myspace like that....its too many folks but if you are a friend of mine...a real one...you feel it and i do to. There is no question. But hell ...i have some online friends far closer and know more about me than some people that have met me in person.
But if there is a question, then ask yourself why .....
