Bonds
I was thinking... I was dreaming... I was wondering...
I was trying to understand a part missing in me. Something that was fading as time passed.
Then as I was discussing with a friend when he said to me that it was somehow sad that he didn't know very well his own friends, the ones he spends most of his time with.
It got me thinking, his words. I say my friends are the most important people in my life, but it is wierd that I didn't know a friend of mine was going through an operation, I didn't know my friend's sister almost died, I don't know where one of my friends is or that I haven't heard any new from one of my dearest friends for the last month.
So what is wrong? Did I stop, at some point, trying to know people? Or is it just getting harder to know people? Maybe both... but either way, I have to say I do not like this situation...
I love to sit down with someone, on a peaceful place, and talk away. I know I have some trouble coming up with subjects to talk about, but that is something to be thought at the moment of the talk.
I fear people are having less time to spend with friends, so they don't spend time alone with a friend, instead they try to spend "friend time" with all friends, resulting on what my friend said.
I would really love if I could go out with one friend at a time for a change, but that only happens when it comes to having to do work in pairs. I hope I can change the situation, and enjoy long talks about life with my friends, I would like to know what is going on, if there is any trouble I can help with, if there is something we could do together to have fun.
Efectively, I would just like to create bonds to my friends.
