Holding On To Friendship In A Busy World #198

All I ever wanted was to stay connected with my friends forever, in fact growing up, I had planned my life so perfectly well on how I will live with my friends and of course my family members were not excluded. Life started from separating me from my siblings, which I could bear, then it went to separating me from my friends, that was out of the line but who am I? I am just a living being inside of life 😂

How the hell am I supposed to live without seeing my friends? I thought so hard! Becoming an adult was my dream but then when the dream started, I wished for someone to at least wake me up! Because it separated me from almost all the things I cherished. I don't wanna dream no more 😩

I remember when I was still in college, I would hang out with my friends and it would be just us against the world. Lol! It was an all the single lady gang. Lots of my mates admired us and the relationship we shared, some even wish they were part of the friendship. I remember how I planned how each of my Friday will be like with my friends, Damn! it was going to be a hit, I even planned to tour the world together with my friends. I can't believe all my plans were wasted 😂

But then...who would have thought that we will be so far away, so distance not to even see each other for months. That's really crazy! But yes, life is what happens. We both have to work or pursue one or two things in life which is why we probably most at times don't have time to share a moment of laughter.

I was on the phone with my friend a few days ago , we spoke to a length and we both were complaining about how long it's been since we last saw each other and we promised to create time for that. The truth is, I am so used to my friend, even after I got married, I stayed with her more often because we were staying in the same compound until my husband and I had to moved out.

Ever since we moved out, I think I have seen my friend just once. Yes I know, it's bad! You don't have to give me that look.
It's been really long since I saw her and to be honest, I am not happy.

Many times in adulthood, as a mother ~or~ with a lot of work and little free time, it's good to meet up with our friends. How long has it been since you've shared moments of laughter with your friends?

When I saw this prompt, I said "finally, here is an opportunity for me to pour out my mind" 😀 Gosh! You don't know how much I missed my friends, do you!
Friendship is a gift that if you have, you must cherish it. Even though, time and life will not really allow me to meet my friends, I cherish what we shared which is why I always call to let them know they are part of my life.

Though life will always give us a reason to be away physically but it should also give us a reason to get in touch, call or text. At least, in this way you keep building and holding the friendship till you get to meet.
