sometimes it's not really about not being able to prioritise our work,
but the time God gives us on earth sometimes just isn't enough.
or should i put it in the way that we just simply have to sacrifice some things in our lives.
especially women.
we cannot meet all our friends and catch up with
all of them,
especially when time and schedules are the ones to be blamed,
or even possibly because we cannot split ourselves into two,
to be at two different places at the same time.
of course that's chaotic and we're digressing.
so, when one stops joining outings or simply stops being part of group,
either because of clashes of schedules or whatsoever causes,
it's indeed sad to say that the role you play in that group of friends has disappeared.
and as we get older,
we either become more cynical or realistic,
that friends are just 'a name',
and perhaps certain people are not worth being friends with.
i can list down the close friends in which i can count with my two hands,
whom i can talk to, and have the same frequency as i.
and you may even have more you can count with your feet.
and i have probably the same amount of friends in which i'm quite sure we could be close friends, but we probably do not have the fate to be so.
and then, i probably have three times more friends whom i say hi and bye to.
oh, and even more people (notice i didn't say
friends) whom i know who they are, and they probably know who i am, and just either stare or pretend to not know that the other person's there (either
trying to remember what his/her name, or is your boyfriend's or girlfriend's ex, or simply can't be bothered to acknowledge the person's presence, or you're simply in a foul mood). of course the list goes on.
i must admit i am sometimes guilty of this,
and you should too.
