Lost friend
In the last few months a very close friend of mine has become distant, due to many reasons. However hard you may try losses are inevitable…One day, after an unsatisfactory phone call or after a strained talk at an all-out blowout, you mutter to yourself, "What's wrong? Why am I not feeling he/she is like a friend? Something has gone…has been lost" WHY...Why would a once close friend suddenly, or even gradually, turns into lost friend? Well... Most friendships break for one of three main reasons: a major change such as marriage or a move...neglect...or the betrayal.
Life is motion…all what is our life has to constantly move forward…we have to work, develop, never let it die out…Some friendships die because they aren't moving forward. They die from stagnation or plain neglect. You promised to call but didn't. You knew it was your friend's birthday, but were too busy to celebrate…Think about it. When we're busy, we only do what comes easy, and even good friendships aren't always easy. Lack of attention and concern is sure to cause a rift. And when it does, it almost always catches us off guard, when we least expect it or can least handle it: when we're going through stressful times at school, work, or home that make us less attentive and less able to respond—which is what caused the neglect to begin with. That's why it can seem that the best friendships break precisely when we need them the most.
So take a look around yourself. When was the last time you gave your friend back home a call, or sent a card. I have so many friends from my Uni days that I have just lost contact with. Having a network of friends around the world is one of the best things ever. Having instant access to information, cultures and countries is amazing.
Take the time to call your friends, pay attention to their needs, and surprise them once and a while.
As for me, I am going to try and get a very important friend back, hope your reading.
