Friendships or Friends Ship

Hey guys. Those who follow my blog, I thank you sincerely, and those who just check it out or who bump into it by accident I hope you enjoy it. I didn't have a blog the last two days. And I think I'm sorry for that, to the dedicated readers. So I'm gonna write one or two for today.:D

   My thought at the moment is Facebook. Everyone who has one knows that it is a way to connect with friends or past friends or family who live far away. It also has games and updates about fashion and music. But even yet, there is a slight chance that the people you used to call your best friends, buds and other sweet friendly words really don't care anymore.

After high school everyone goes their own way and gains their own life. People become independent and what they had before, they change for something new. Like people they used to talk to.

In the hallways of school you could see kids huddling together and gossiping about something that went on the day before, or complaining about a relationship problem or a rude teacher. Then, those were their only concerns, and if you didn't have friends you didn't really fit in anywhere. Almost everyone tried their best to be what people expected of them. There were some that shocked the school so much that people just had to know them. But everyone had at least something that they could talk about. I mean after all they went to the same school, had most of the same teachers and saw and heard the same drama. So they had friends.

After graduation, some people still talk, but as days go by they talk less and less. If you did gain a good friend in school who you're still friends after, you are lucky. Because after high school, the only way that those people you used to talk to everyday contact you is if they need something. Even people you called Best Friends. And even if you tried to talk to them on a huge networking site, who's one and only job is to connect people, you rarely get anywhere past how are you.   

I have over 300 people on my Facebook, but only a tenth of them, if I'm lucky I talk to. All of those people, I either met through friends, were my friends or are family. But none connect unless you give them a rope to connect with. What is even sadder is that none of them even try to reconnect with their past best friends. I have. Plenty of times and it rarely worked.
So let me tell you one thing, if you have a friend worth keeping, don't walk over bridges and then burn them. Keep those friends, and make time for them. Because once your Friend Ship sails its gone  and hard to get back.

With all my love,
