I HATE when people accuse me of "not talking to them" or whatever for long periods of time when they didn't make any effort to talk to me. A friendship is a two way street! It is not one person's responsibility to keep a friendship together. What bothers me is when I am held 100% accountable. I have many friends with whom I am not consistently in contact with, but we both understand that we have busy lives. It doesn't mean I don't think about them, or don't care about them, but distant relationships are hard. But for some people, having a busy life is not justifiable for not upholding a relationship...on my end.

I feel like I appologize to some people more than we spend time together, and it really hurts my feelings. I get frustrated when friends from high school put up away messages that tell me how they are feeling, instead of just calling.....a month later. and then I get blamed for the past month. It is so hard to hear, every time. I try SO hard to be a good friend...I always have. I've hoped that it's something that people will remember. but I can't count the times I've been told how horrible a friend/person I am..and it pulls on my heart every time.

I needed to just get this out there, because it's something that I don't talk about too much. But I'm done for now, it's been a long day.

I totally know what you mean..I used to deal with that all the time high school. Its frustrating how some people dont just "get" that mutual understanding that most friends have at this point in their lives. Hope today is better.

Love!
