Friendship is a beautiful thing. When I was in college, I had lots of special friends with whom I spent a lot of memorable times. We went shopping, we cooked, we swapped stories, we watched movies, shared gossip and did almost everything friends would do. Then later on, when we finished college we went our separate ways but still kept in touch once in a while. After my marriage, the calls decreased when my focus changed to married life. Then when my little girl was born, I was so busy with work and family that I totally stopped calling most of my friends. They called me once in a while but I was mostly busy to call them back.
Now I am in the US. All my friends are miles away from me and though I am busy with housework and raising my kid, I do have some free time as well. I see people spending time with their friends at the pool, the mall or at the park. I miss my girlfriends so much. I wish they were here so I could tell them a lot of things, go shopping with them and just have fun.
Everyone has lots of friends. Some friends are the ones we can really relate to and share everything with. Other friends are not so close, we know them, we can talk to them but we don't really want to share everything with them. I usually don't find it so comfortable to talk with the not so close friends. When I feel guilty about not having called them, I call them but I would prefer to get their voicemail rather than talk to them directly. With those kind of friends, I run out of things to talk about and it gets awkward after a while.
Some people don't bond on the same level as others. With some people there is this large communication gap and weird moments of thinking about what to say next. When its my close friends, I never run out of things to say and want to hear all about them. I never feel uncomfortable with them and I feel sad when our time together ends.
I wish my best girlfriends were all near to me and we get to share those beautiful times together again.
