Friends
I sit down more and more confused and lost then I have ever felt in my life. It seems like I have lost all my sense of purpose, and direction in my life. I am missing someone or something but for some reason, I keep on searching but I have never found it yet.
Is it just me, or doesn’t it seem like everyone is so busy with their own things in their life that they don’t have anytime for you and your problems? It seems to me that I am losing contact with some of my good friends and we can’t seem to make anytime for each other. We keep on saying that we want we want to go out for a coffee or something to meet but for some reason it never follows through. We also keep on saying in the summer, at Christmas or during whatever holiday but when the holidays come around there seems to be not enough time to do anything. The holidays go by so fast that sooner then you know you are back at school or working, resulting in times where things are left unaccomplished.
This brings me to wonder who my friends are. Even though I see people at school or work, and I consider them my friends, why is it so hard to keep in touch with them or hang out with them? I guess everyone comes with their own friends, and unless you talk to them on a daily basis or see them at work or school, you may never see them again even though you “supposedly” know them and/or consider them your “friends”. I find it funny, but I guess that are who friends are.
At the end of high school you lose contact with a lot of friends and contacts but in post-secondary you gain and make so much more friends but are they really your friends or are they just classmates or people you see. What are they? It is interesting to think about this topic but wondering about it, seems to make a person more and more confused.
I don’t know what to think about it. It is hard to explain, let alone understand. People say that you find people that share similar interests as you but the question is they your friend or not. People also mention that during this time you will find out who your true friends but who are my true friends. I guess these two statements are very true, I guess this is what college/university teaches and shows you. Who your true friends are? What are my friends interested in? How can I make friends? Why are people not my friend? I guess doesn’t matter the quantity of friends but the quality of your friends. I guess even though you meet people and consider them your friend(s); they may not consider their friends. The more people you meet the better chances you have of finding your true friend and a friend that truly cares about you.
