Looks like I am posting once a month now! Or at least it has been close to a month since my last post!
What have I been up to? Going through some really bad moments – learnt that I mistrusted a person who I thought to be a great friend (15 years of friendship down the drain – making me wonder who my real friends are now! ), distance between me & another friend has grown due to a stupid misunderstanding because of my mood swing, visit by a trio of old people I never wanted to meet as a result of a “friend’s” actions. The last on the list was a bit too much for me & A.
I know that all this sounds really cryptic but over the last month I have learnt that I have been way too open only to be hurt by people I trusted. It is not easy for me to be this closed… am glad I have a few I still trust & open up to. Don’t know how long they will be there (showing how cynical I am getting I suppose) Result of a few who say they would call back & have not, I have pinged and in fact even asked them to call when free cos I wanted to talk – still waiting! I know people are busy, have lives etc…, but I also know that no one is that busy that they cannot even return a call or message for days on end. I get the message. Learning that being a hi-how do you do?-bye friend is all many are! I sometimes wish I could be like that!!! I am not! I have always valued friendship and would do anything for a good friend. I don’t want to become the cynic that I am turning into.
I don’t know how many readers I have left! 🙂 I have been really bad at commenting on the blogs I visit (avoiding it because of the way I am right now) I hardly even ping anyone online nor tweet – so much so I doubt if I qualify to be part of the tweeples out there or a blogger or whatever!!
Now I only wish that I don’t lose the few I have in my life right now or that I have the strength to face the time when they won’t be around. Life is weird – especially mine – I always end up getting the one thing I never ever wanted – loneliness!
There are three things in life that shouldn’t be broken… hearts, promises & friendships 🙂
Found that in the status shuffle on Facebook. Guess what? All 3 have been broken…one too many times!!!
Random Ruminations 
I’m still here! I’m still here! Although, I must admit I haven’t been by very often in the last few months because of school. But don’t take that personally as it has been that way for all my blog buddies. I just haven’t been able to visit them as much as I’d like. I’m not sure I know what pinging is all about though.
I finally did get to see Julie & Julie and I really liked it! 🙂 Meryl Streep was great.
Thanks Teeni! A huge hug from me 🙂 By pinging I meant contacting by chat or email…
I watched another movie of Meryl Streep just yesterday – Its Complicated. That one is good too; in case you have not watched it 🙂
Its a big bad world out there!! 😀
🙂 I suppose! I am just tired of stumbling and finding only the bad ones most of the times!
Not sounding preachy but there is a saying…”never give priority to a person from whom you are just an option”…In my opinion, hearts, promises & friendships have little chance of being broken if you adhere to this 🙂
Hey SidZ, I guess I was wrong in giving priority to these people; rather I guess I did not realise that I was just an option to them!! 😦 Lesson learnt!
Hey me here too 🙂
And I agree all these shouldn’t be broken but they do break all the time 😦
Here’s something every woman should read – take a look Apar…
