<P>I have mixed feelings on friendship. I personally would love and I mean LOVE to have a friend, many friends. But, as you get older and people get more involved in taking care of themselves and there immediate family, it gets harder and harder to have friends. Depending on your situation and who is in your life and how much of your life is demanded by others in your immediate life. To have a friendship you must have time for one. I also do not trust most people, people are pretty self centered and they come first. It's hard to find a friend who will put you first and maybe they shouldn't, I think a friend is like a supplement to your life, They fit in after your kids, husband, appointments, job etc...So it makes it hard to make each other feel important. In high school all you had was your friends, they were what mattered to you as a teenager. It gave you the wrong impression of friendship, because after school and your get a job, get married or don't but move on to your life alone, the friendship is no longer the most important thing but you feel the need for it because of the years of having it. I think just having someone to talk to and share things with, go out and do whatever you enjoy with occassionally is wonderful. I just don't know how to find that anymore. Most people I've meet in the last 10 years are work friends. We don't go out together but laugh and have fun at work. I don't know. I don't have the magic answer and most of the time I am lonely. But, God whom I 100% believe in put us on this earth together to interact with each other, to help one another(even strangers), to not judge each other ( I know most do). And if we have a friend for a day, week, month or year..so be it. Anyone want to be my friend, write me, I'll listen and respond we can enlightend each other and maybe enjoy life just a little more.
