#66 - Friends

17.10.2010

What does friends mean to u? Are they more important than ur family? Do u value them more than everything else? For me, they are not more important than my family, I don’t value them more than everything else. But that doesn’t mean that i don’t treasure them. It is fun to meet up once in a while to catch up with each other but what happens when u felt that u can’t really stir up a continuous conversation when u meet up?

Do u feel like, everything has fallen apart? That u are no longer as close as it used to be? That it does feel awkward to purposely find a topic to talk about? What causes this? Lack of contact, different field, different outlook? What ever it is, I always try to meet up with friends. But it does feel awkward when u don’t really know what to talk about.

I don’t have much friends whom I can sit comfortably with without talking, with a moment of silence. I don’t really like to talk too much, but when the situation is very silent, I have no choice but to try to make up a conversation lengthy enough to kill off the awkwardness. What happen? Should we just not try too hard to keep in touch with everyone?

What ever it is, networking is crucial nowadays, be it for ur work or ur personal life. I need to work on my networking at work and expand my social circle in personal life. Life is short, time doesn’t wait for us. Jz do what we want! Life shouldn’t be lived with any regret…
