What happened to real friends?

I’ll be honest here, I don’t have many people I can call TRUE FRIENDS. Nor do I have that selected few to call my ride or die. Well wait I take that back I DOgenuinely have those 3 to 4 people I can say will always be there for me. As for the others that I wished would have stayed well, they come and go..Don’t get me wrong I’m immensely grateful for everyone and anyone that’s crossed paths with me and even grateful to those who are still somewhere wondering on my road. I have plenety of acquaintances, my daily “hi how are you’s”. And even then, it ultimately comes down to autonomy. ‘Cuz at the end of the day ur still all u really got.

I miss that special friendship bond, The friends I could always count on to be there for me. But somwhere down the line, “THAT LINE” gets cut and unfortunatley putting back the line isn’t so easy. I’m not saying a friendship goes wrong, just “keeping in touch” somehow becomes SUCH A HARD THING TO DO. Those people that you could always call at 3:00 in the morning, just happens to become your “oh whats up we neeed to catch up sometime”. Or somtimes we get those “close friends we haven’t seen or spoken to in awhile but when you do everything is kind of awkward” ohhh geez haha those are the worse. And its sad, we find so much time doing other things that probably takes up more time to do, but yet some of us can’t find that 5minutes in our days just to pick up the phone and to see how our friends our doing. Pardon my choice of words, but That’s BULLSHIT THERES ALWAYS TIME FOR EVERYTHING.

but I get it ya know? while that whole “when one person walks out another walks in”- I also believe that your friendships should matter just as much as your relationships. I’ve seen it, REAL friends can live on complete opposite sides of the earth but yet still find the time for eachother. But that doesn’t mean that just because someone is within reach, we should take them for granted. If we can devote so much of ourselves to our relationships, and put so much effort into nurturing them, there should be no reason we can’t do the same for our friendships. Afterall, it’s ur friends who were there before, during, and after ur relationships anyway”
