friends,phones & filling holes...


i love my friends!! my best friend kay got home today and i havent seen her in a whole year! it was great! its funny how some people can be away for an age, but when u see them its as if u havent been apart. i was thinking last week that the thing i hate most is people leaving, but i guess if everyone and everything stayed the same life just wouldn't be as interesting... or real !
but still, when people leave they leave a bit of a hole in you, or actually, maybe its that when they're with u they add something to ur life, and when they leave, altho they're gone, whatever they've added, and however u'v changed remains. so it's not so much they leave a hole, but have stopped adding in the same way. and whatever it was u used to add to them now needs to find another outlet to pour into. some people might throw themselves into a new project or interest, or spend more time with other friends. or sink into a deep depression over the person u have (sort of) lost.

its so easy to take people for granted, or to trick urself into thinking u dont have many friends, when really there might be loads of great people in ur life! iv been realising recently how texting is robbing people of actual friendships- instead of phoning for some proper chat a short text is sent, and u miss out on friendships with real people and replace them with a piece of (albeit useful, clever and quite complicated at times) piece of plastic!! so since i dont believe in new years resolutions i'm going to, from now, try and phone people more!
