i recently watched a show, which described a friend as 'someone you can call anytime and share a joke, or tell your problems to'. i realise, i have been using the term 'friend' too loosely. i don't have many friends. i have acquaintances. i find it hard to swallow how some people claim they're your 'friend' when in reality, you know that they really don't know anything about you. here's a simple test i use to judge whether or not you're a friend... if a friend went missing one day, would you know where to find him or her? knowing that answer could just save a life.
i don't need a threat, just some trust....
realising that my vocabulary is extremely limited and has had no growth in recent years is worrying. i must start reading again, and more genres at that. i'd love to re read all my classics like jane eyre, the portrait of dorian gray, little women, pride and prejudice... but i just can't seem to find all my books!
a family is supposed to be full of love, yet these days, families seem to be full of politics instead. what are we doing to ourselves?
i don't understand the concept of 'saving face'. it is so ridiculous. because at the end of the day, we all didn't really have much 'face' to begin with. and no one really cares.
uni? work? pressure from all angles.
i just want to live. is that too much to ask?
cheers.
