Friends
I’ve changed what I was going to say in this blog a few times, why I have no idea. Why does anyone change their mind…..because you feel like it that’s why!
We all have friends, some are real friends, others are people we just ‘know’, others….it’s a relationship that’s really hard to explain so the word ‘friend’ seems to work for the time being. You have those people that you talk with on a regular basis and then you have those that you never seem to talk to. How many of you out there have a MySpace, Facebook or Bebo account…or one of those many other ‘networking’ types of accounts? Okay….now…when you finish reading this blog…go log into that account….and look at your friends list. How many people on that “Friends” list do you REALLY know? I mean..you talk to face to face or on the phone. How many are people that you chat with via MSN Messenger or some other chat system that is out there? How many did you add just because they asked you to or because you thought..damn he/she is hot..I should have them on my “friends” list…so you added them and for some reason they accepted or vise versa…maybe you were the ‘hot one’, lol. I took a good look at my MySpace friends list today, I have 94 “friends” on that list. Of those 94….at least 33 to 35 are people that I have either known for half my lifetime, are people that I chat with online on a regular basis or are friends from in the soapmaking community (yes…I’m a soapmaker). The bulk of the rest are band, either bands that I actually know personally or bands that I really like, or bands that asked me to add them to my friends list. There are a few others that are folks that I have something in common with. On my Facebook account I have only 12 people on there. Of those 12, only 1 have I ever met face to face, she is a wonderful woman who I am to this day very blessed to have as a friend. The others are all people I have met playing Poker on Facebook. With that being said, some of those people have become friends that I care a great deal about. One of them is an incredible guy, lol…not trying to make you blush, but he’s the one who asked me to write blogs on here. I have spent more time chatting with he and 2 other people in the last month than anyone else that I know (family excluded from that). Trust me, the other 2 are just as important to me, one is just plan wonderful and fun…the other…well, is very special to me. I have also had people that I have have added to my Facebook friends list that I regretted adding and I have removed them almost as fast as I added them. lol…kinda one of those…what was I thinking sort of things.
What I’m trying to say in all this is…go look at your friends list….how many of these people truly mean something to you? How many are on your friends list just because they are there for no special reason, how many of those people would you notice if they were not on your list of friends anymore?
Value those that you consider a real friend, because you never know what they may come to mean to you at some point in your life.
