Friends.

So, here's the deal.

No one would ever really describe me as a loner. I have more friends than I can really count, and every friend I have on facebook I actually enjoy being around. I work at burger king (more on that later) and I love meeting the people who come up to my counter (who are not jerks). Long story short, I'm a people person. Honestly, I don't get mad that often... But I do get frustrated.

Look before you read this-I'm kind of a horrible friend, and I'm not saying that I'm the greatest friend in the world in this post; everything I say here, applies to me as well. I just feel like it's time someone said something.

So in short, this post is about putting some effort into your friendships.

Do any of you have that friend that you do really care about, but you never start a conversation with them? You just wait for them to text you... because you know they will? You never go to see them, because you know they will always come to see you? You do really value them and their friendship... but you don't put in effort they do. I'm not saying it's fine for you to do it, but a lot of people do, so don't be ashamed, just notice what you're doing, and... stop.

Yes, I have plenty of friends that I do this to, but I also have plenty of friends who do this to me. And it feels horrible. It feels like these people don't care about me at all. I send them texts all the time... but if I don't... I won't hear from them. It's like I don't matter to them. Honestly I feel like if they sent me *one* text once in a while I would know that I'm not the only one who cares about the relationship.

I know I shouldn't... but I get discouraged. And that's one of the worst feelings.

So pick up the phone. Send your friend a text. Don't make them feel like they matter to you. All it's going to take is ten seconds to write "hi". Let them know they matter to you.

And hey, I'm sorry if it seems like you don't matter to me. I promise you, you do. Thanks for being in my life. (Even if you're just a blog reader). You'll hear from me soon I promise.
