Are you the one who calls or texts first? Do you make time for that friend who does not always make time for you?
I have been through that numerous times. Whenever I recall it, it always brings tears to my eyes. I try to make friends feel special because that’s what friends do for each other.
But when I need my friends most, they aren’t there for me. They always have an excuse and never make time for me. They say they’re sorry, but that doesn’t fix the pain. It seems to me that I ask for too little, a shoulder to lean on when I’m in trouble. Is that so much to ask?
Finally, one day I realized that they only wanted me around because I was always available. I started to distance myself from them and focused on my family’s people who cared for me.
Two years ago, I met these two unique individuals who have made me feel so special. We were always excited to see each other, introducing ourselves to our families. My friendship with them has made me feel like I am worth something. I hope that it never ends.
Express your thoughts about friendship. Share your experiences and goals. I would love to hear about them!
