PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I embrace the friends I have, try to make new ones, and am welcome to the opportunities that await. I don't see what's wrong with trying to befriend people, get to know them better, find someone to talk to and joke with, make smile and laugh, trying to have a life outside of work and home, and what not. I love finding true friends to enjoy life's crests and troughs with. As you get older you're forced to realize how hard it can be to keep open the doors of communication and correspondence with your friends because your life changes as does theirs. The next thing you know they're too busy with their kids, work, college, etc. Everyone thinks it's not going to be them because they're young, at college, going to high school, and haven't experienced it. I experienced it at an early age because I moved around so much, but I'm anticipating that the younger generation will be learning about this in the years to come. You'll find that the people who stick with you the most are your true friends and when you have the opportunity to make more friends and potentially make another true friend you go for it. You don't reject it because you don't know them well enough at first. If it truly worked that way no one would have any friends. I can't force anyone to accept me befriending them, but I'm not to suck up, explain myself, and let them ruin my day. I'll focus on the friends I have now and find other people who are looking for more friends and are receptive to the idea.
